The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette église, d'origine romane, a été placée sous le vocable de Notre-Dame puis de Saint-Antoine. Elle a gardé du 12e siècle son plan et quelques éléments architecturaux (portail ouest, choeur, baies de la nef, ...). A l'époque gothique (15e siècle) , l'église a reçu un voûtement sur croisée d'ogives. La charpente du clocher semble dater du 17e siècle. En 1929, des réparations urgentes des maçonneries, charpente et couverture ont été entreprises sous la conduite de l'architecte A. Gervy Lemoine. L'église possède un plan simple : nef unique à deux travées voûtées, suivie d'une travée sous clocher et d'un choeur à travée droite et abside en cul-de-four.

History
This church, of Romanesque origin, was dedicated to Our Lady and then to Saint Anthony. It has retained from the 12th century its plan and some architectural elements (west doorway, choir, nave openings, ...). In the gothic period (15th century), the church received a rib vault covering. The bell tower roof structure appears to date from the 17th century. In 1929, urgent repairs to the masonry, roof structure and covering were undertaken under the direction of the architect A. Gervy Lemoine. The church has a simple plan: single nave with two bays vaulted, followed by a bay under the bell tower and a choir with straight bay and hemicycle apse.
