The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
De l'église romane subsiste le mur gouttereau sud. Le reste de l'édifice a été reconstruit aux 15e, 16e et 17e siècles. C'est un édifice avec nef lambrissée et bas-côté unique au nord, voûtes d'ogives. Les charpentes de la nef témoignent d'un repentir : la nef principale était à l'origine couverte isolément. Présence de vitraux de 1893 évoquant l'émigration des habitants au Canada au 17e siècle. Deux vitraux du 16e siècle subsistent.

History
From the Romanesque church remains the south gutter wall. The rest of the building was rebuilt in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. It is a building with wainscoted nave and single aisle to the north, rib vaults. The roof structures of the nave testify to a change of mind: the main nave was originally covered separately. Presence of stained glass from 1893 evoking the emigration of the inhabitants to Canada in the 17th century. Two stained glass windows from the 16th century remain.
