The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L’église se compose de deux nefs accolées à chevets plats. Elle résulte de plusieurs campagnes de travaux se situant à la fin du 12ème siècle, durant la deuxième moitié du 13ème siècle, aux 14ème et 19ème siècles et, enfin, au cours du 20ème siècle. Un système défensif composé d’un clocher-tour et d’un parapet protégeant un chemin de ronde est construit à partir du 14ème siècle. L’église abrite des éléments de qualité dont une châsse de Sainte-Tarcisse en bois doré.

The church comprises two naves joined with flat chevets. It results from several campaigns of work situated at the end of the 12th century, during the second half of the 13th century, in the 14th and 19th centuries and, finally, during the 20th century. A defensive system composed of a bell tower and a parapet protecting a wall walk is constructed from the 14th century onwards. The church contains quality elements including a reliquary of Sainte-Tarcisse in gilded wood.
