The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église a subi de multiples remaniements au cours des siècles. De l'église primitive du 12e siècle ne subsiste qu'une partie du massif occidental, présentant un grand clocher à baies en plein-cintre et muni d'un élégant triforium. Le clocher est épaulé de croisillons qui semblent être les seuls vestiges des bas-côtés de la nef aujourd'hui disparus, vestiges néanmoins fortement remaniés, puisqu'une tour a été accolée au croisillon nord aux 15e-16e siècles. Quant au portail occidental, il a été refait à la même époque. La nef et le choeur ont été en grande partie reconstruits au 17e siècle.

The church underwent multiple alterations over the centuries. From the original 12th century church only part of the western mass survives, presenting a large bell tower with round-arch openings and fitted with an elegant triforium. The bell tower is buttressed by transepts which appear to be the only remains of the nave aisles which have now disappeared, though these remains were heavily altered, since a tower was attached to the north transept in the 15th-16th centuries. As for the western portal, it was remade at the same time. The nave and choir were largely rebuilt in the 17th century.
