History
The nave is covered with a wooden vault with exposed tie-beams. The archivolts of the Romanesque door are decorated with dog-tooth moulding. The west gable wall is surmounted by a slender bell tower. The interior contains three classical altars whose designs are said to have been executed by Mansard at the request of Louvois, owner of the Prairie de Marcilly.
