The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Nef du 15e siècle, couverte d'une voûte en plein cintre en bois, avec entraits et poinçons apparents, ornés de peintures. Le portail de la façade est à voussure ogivale, décoré de sculptures, avec meneau central ménageant deux portes d'entrée surmontées de gâbles curvilignes. La tour du clocher est Renaissance, et sans doute restée inachevée.

History
Nave of the 15th century, covered with a barrel vault in wood, with tie-beams and principal rafters exposed, ornamented with paintings. The portal of the façade has a pointed arch voussure, decorated with sculptures, with central mullion creating two entrance doors surmounted by curvilinear gables. The bell tower is Renaissance, and doubtless remained unfinished.
