The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église gothique construite aux 14e-15e siècles à l'emplacement d'une église romane, fut en grande partie détruite en 1906 pour faire place à une nouvelle église. Le choeur et une travée furent cependant conservés et subsistent avec la tour-clocher qui les surmontent. A l'intérieur, ces parties présentent des décors peints des 15e et 16e siècles assez originaux (décors géométriques, de damiers et d'entrelacs, faux marbres, faux caissons).

History
The Gothic church built in the 14th-15th centuries on the site of a Romanesque church was largely destroyed in 1906 to make way for a new church. The choir and one bay were however preserved and remain with the bell tower that surmounts them. Inside, these parts present painted decoration from the 15th and 16th centuries of considerable originality (geometric decoration, chequered patterns and interlacing, false marbles, false coffering).
