The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise mentionnée dès le 10e siècle. C'est un édifice à nef unique, couvert d'une charpente. Abside pentagonale à pans coupés. Clocher arcade avec deux ouvertures. Le choeur est voûté en cul de four. Les chapiteaux du choeur présentent des ornements sculptés traduisant une légère transition du roman au gothique. Traces de décor peint. Vers les colonnes, trois superpositions sont clairement visibles. Graffiti dont certains sont datés (1591). Sans doute au début du 19e siècle, ajout d'un bâtiment à usage d'habitation, ruiné.

History
Church mentioned from the 10th century. It is a building with a single nave, covered with timber roof structure. Pentagonal apse with cut angles. Arcade bell tower with two openings. The choir is vaulted with a cul-de-four vault. The capitals of the choir display sculptured ornaments expressing a slight transition from Romanesque to Gothic. Traces of painted decoration.
