The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église comporte une grande nef et un choeur remontant peut-être au 12e siècle, mais complètement défigurés par des modernisations du 19e siècle. Seul le clocher, du 13e siècle, est authentique. La base carrée est soulignée par trois étages de corniche. Aux deux tiers de sa hauteur, il s'amincit et prend une forme octogonale. Les quatre angles du carré sont renforcés par un double contrefort se terminant par un pinacle. Chaque face de l'octogone est percé d'une fenêtre en arc brisé. La base du clocher comporte une salle ouverte sur l'église.

History
The church comprises a large nave and a choir dating perhaps to the 12th century, but completely disfigured by modernisations of the 19th century. Only the bell tower, from the 13th century, is authentic. The square base is underlined by three levels of cornice. At two-thirds of its height, it tapers and takes an octagonal form. The four angles of the square are reinforced by a double buttress ending in a pinnacle. Each face of the octagon is pierced by a window in pointed arch. The base of the bell tower comprises a room open to the church.
