Church erected essentially in the 12th century (bell tower gable, nave, choir and apse), given to the priory of Saint-Cyprien in 1293. In the 16th century, construction of the south seigneurial chapel. In the 18th century, alteration of the openings (western portal, windows) and creation of the sacristy. Restoration of the bell tower in 1843. Construction of the north chapel in 1865. The church is a building with a western porch tower supported on a single nave, framed by two chapels, and which opens onto a choir with a semi-circular apse. The western portal, framed by pilasters and surmounted by a niche, gives access to the nave. The lateral walls retain the primitive Romanesque openings. The choir opens onto an apse decorated with an arcading composed of nine arches springing from ten columns with capitals adorned with vegetation decoration.
