History
Small rural building from the end of the 15th century, with a simple nave and a choir slightly lower, ending in a flat chevet, to which a projecting transept is attached. The bell tower's spire rises at the centre of the nave. In the 18th century, the openings of the choir were updated to modern taste, as were those of the north façade of the nave. The interior is covered by a 15th-century roof structure showing traces of polychromy, with tie beams and principal rafters.
