The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Elevée sur un plan en fausse croix latine, l'église offre une architecture du 11e siècle dont les remaniements postérieurs ont dénaturé la silhouette première. Elle a subi une restauration radicale en 1860. Une crypte du 11e siècle se situe sous le choeur et l'abside. L'édifice conserve de rares décors des 13e ou 14e siècles, telles que les peintures murales au niveau des fenêtres les plus orientales. Elles représentent la flagellation, la légende des trois pucelles dotées par Saint-Nicolas, une croix de consécration. De même, le décor de la crypte consiste en une ornementation picturale sur les voûtes dont il reste quelques éléments ou traces.

History
Raised on a plan in false Latin cross, the church offers 11th-century architecture whose later alterations have disfigured its original silhouette. It underwent radical restoration in 1860. An 11th-century crypt is located beneath the choir and the apse. The building preserves rare decorations from the 13th or 14th centuries, such as the wall paintings at the level of the most eastern windows. They depict the flagellation, the legend of the three maidens endowed by Saint-Nicolas, a cross of consecration. Similarly, the decoration of the crypt consists of pictorial ornamentation on the vaults, of which some elements or traces remain.
