Historique
Eglise gothique reconstruite vers 1460 suite aux destructions dues aux guerres de Religion. L'édifice est constitué d'une haute nef flanquée de deux, puis quatre, chapelles. Au 18e siècle, l'édifice est agrandi et consolidé : réfection des couvertures, ajout de deux travées dans la nef, nouvelle façade occidentale. En 1838, l'ancien clocher, partiellement démoli, fut reconstruit dans sa partie haute et surmonté d'une flèche. Au 19e siècle, les stalles du 16e siècle sont intégrées dans un ensemble de boiseries néo-gothique. Vers 1930, les baies reçurent un ensemble de vitraux réalisés par l'atelier Mauméjean.

History
Gothic church rebuilt around 1460 following destructions due to the Wars of Religion. The edifice is constituted of a high nave flanked by two, then four, chapels. In the 18th century, the edifice is enlarged and consolidated: refection of the coverings, addition of two bays in the nave, new western façade. In 1838, the old bell tower, partially demolished, was rebuilt in its upper part and surmounted by a spire. In the 19th century, the stalls of the 16th century are incorporated into a set of neo-Gothic woodwork. Around 1930, the openings received a set of stained glass windows made by the Mauméjean workshop.
