The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Construite sur un plan délibérément rectangulaire, comme beaucoup d'édifices de la région, ses murs extérieurs portent la marque bien affirmée du 15e siècle par le dessin des fenestrages des baies. C'est à une époque plus tardive qu'elle fut voûtée, vraisemblablement à la fin du 16e siècle. Ses voûtes sont fort élégantes et légères : la finesse de leur nervure est remarquable. Les colonnes de la nef sont peintes et portent des traces d'une taille que l'on discerne mal. Les piliers sont anciens mais ont été galbés au siècle dernier par un regrettable souci d'orthodoxie. A noter des retables et l'autel du 18e siècle, ainsi que diverses statues anciennes. Des vitraux abstraits remplacent ceux que la guerre a détruits.

History
Built on a deliberately rectangular plan, like many buildings of the region, its outer walls bear the well-marked sign of the 15th century in the design of the fenestration of the openings. It was at a later period that it was vaulted, probably towards the end of the 16th century. Its vaults are very elegant and light: the fineness of their ribs is remarkable. The columns of the nave are painted and bear traces of tooling which is barely discernible. The pillars are old but were cambered in the last century by a regrettable concern for orthodoxy. It should be noted that there are retables and an altar of the 18th century, as well as various old statues. Abstract stained glass has replaced those that war destroyed.
