The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Les parties subsistantes de l'église semblent remonter au début du 13e siècle. Quelques vestiges de la nef pourraient dater de la première moitié du 16e siècle. Le grand portail est rebâti en 1719-1720. En 1795, l'église est vendue comme bien national et est presque entièrement démolie au 19e siècle. Ne subsiste plus au sud qu'une absidiole prolongée de trois travées.

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.
