The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Sont du 15e siècle la nef et les collatéraux dont les colonnes engagées présentent une forme hélicoïdale. Quelques portes décorées dont les grands vantaux de la façade ouest sont des 16e et 17e siècle. Le choeur fut quant à lui érigé au 18e siècle. Le 2 juillet 2025, on déplore un acte de vandalisme au cours duquel la toile peinte en faux marbre, tendue sur châssis bois, qui forme une partie du décor du choeur (derrière le maître-autel), est endommagée : traverse brisée, toile bosselée et crevée sous l'effet de la bascule de l'encadrement.

From the 15th century are the nave and the aisles whose engaged columns present a helical form. Some decorated doors, of which the large leaves of the west façade are from the 16th and 17th centuries. The choir was in turn erected in the 18th century. On 2 July 2025, an act of vandalism was regretted during which the canvas painted in false marble, stretched on wooden frame, which forms part of the decoration of the choir (behind the high altar), is damaged: cross-member broken, canvas dented and torn under the effect of the tilting of the frame.
