History
The church is mentioned as early as the 10th century. In 1112, it appears among the possessions of Marmoutier abbey. It is a building of the 11th century, with a single nave and an apse in the form of a cul-de-four. The western façade opens through a 13th-century portal whose porch has disappeared. In 1929, the 19th-century bell tower, in poor condition, was replaced by the present one.
