Church probably built in the late 12th or early 13th century, remodelled in the 16th century. Oriented plan in Latin cross, formed of a nave covered with a ceiling supported by joists, a fore-choir and a choir both with broken barrel vaults. The bell tower is raised by a belfry in the 19th century. The paintings which ornament the church are characteristic of the mid-16th century, resembling the style in use under the reign of Henri II.
