The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
A la fin du 19e siècle, l'église subit une restauration qui lui ôte la plus grande part de son apparence romane. Elle abrite probablement un ensemble de peintures à la détrempe datées du 15e siècle, caché par l'enduit de plâtre du 19e. La totalité des murs et des voûtes était peinte.

History
At the end of the 19th century, the church undergoes a restoration which removes the greater part of its Romanesque appearance. It probably houses an ensemble of tempera paintings dated to the 15th century, hidden by the 19th-century plaster render. The entirety of the walls and vaults was painted.
