The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église est composée de deux parties mal raccordées. Une tour massive à plusieurs étages est percée de baies géminées romanes. La tour et le choeur ont été bâtis en une seule fois. La nef doit être une construction antérieure, car à la jonction des deux parties, l'entrait de la dernière travée a été scié et les deux moignons sont encore encastrés dans les murs.

History
The church is composed of two parts poorly joined together. A massive tower with several storeys is pierced with Romanesque paired openings. The tower and the chevet were built at one time. The nave must be an earlier construction, for at the junction of the two parts, the tie-beam of the last bay has been cut and the two stumps are still embedded in the walls.
