The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'origine de l'édifice semble remonter au 15e siècle. A l'intérieur, un arc triomphal ogival sépare la nef du choeur. La voûte est en bois avec entraits et poinçons, chaque douve étant accusée par des ornements tracés en noir au pinceau. Une petite flèche surmonte la toiture.

History
The origin of the building seems to date back to the 15th century. Inside, an ogival triumphal arch separates the nave from the choir. The vault is in wood with tie-beams and hammer-posts, each plank being emphasized by ornaments traced in black with a brush. A small spire surmounts the roof.
