History
The surviving parts of the church appear to date from the early 13th century. Some vestiges of the nave could date from the first half of the 16th century. The great portal is rebuilt in 1719-1720. In 1795, the church is sold as national property and is almost entirely demolished in the 19th century. Only an apsidiole prolonged by three bays subsists to the south.
