The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cruciforme, cette église doit avoir été construite durant le 13e siècle, à en juger par la partie la plus ancienne qui est le transept nord ; les voûtes et colonnettes supportant les nervures datent de cette époque. On y a pratiqué postérieurement une grande rose à douze divisions tréflées et à moulures anguleuses. Le choeur carré est éclairé par des fenêtres ogivales, à têtes partiellement tréflées, à tympan garni de roses dans un goût du 15e siècle. La travée centrale paraît du même temps que le transept nord. Le clocher, latéral et la nef sont modernes. Les vantaux de la porte ont été sculptés au 16e siècle. Le transept méridional est une belle chapelle ; les châsses des saintes y sont déposées.

Cruciform, this church must have been constructed during the 13th century, judging by the oldest part which is the north transept; the vaults and columns supporting the ribs date from that period. Subsequently a large rose window with twelve trefoiled divisions and angular mouldings was created in it. The square choir is lit by pointed windows with partially trefoiled heads, the tympanum filled with roses in a taste of the 15th century. The central bay appears to be from the same time as the north transept. The bell tower, lateral, and the nave are modern. The door leaves were carved in the 16th century. The south transept is a fine chapel; the reliquaries of the saints are deposited there.
