Historique
Eglise située à une centaine de mètres au sud du village, à l'intérieur du cimetière. C'est un édifice à nef unique et chevet semi-circulaire, construit au 11e siècle, et qui a fait l'objet d'importants travaux au 19e siècle. Le chevet a conservé sa fenêtre axiale d'origine ; il est couronné d'un rang d'arcature lombarde. A l'intérieur, la nef est divisée en trois travées couvertes de fausses voûtes en brique sur croisées d'ogives établies dans la deuxième moitié du 19e siècle. L'église n'est dotée que d'un seul vitrail, daté 1893.

History
Church situated about a hundred metres south of the village, within the cemetery. It is a building with a single nave and semi-circular chevet, built in the 11th century, and which was the subject of major works in the 19th century. The chevet has retained its original axial window; it is crowned by a row of Lombard arcading. Inside, the nave is divided into three bays covered with false brick vaults on rib cross-vaults established in the second half of the 19th century. The church has only a single stained glass window, dated 1893.
