The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette église du 12ème siècle, aujourd'hui désaffectée, est un édifice roman d'allure homogène. En 1796, elle fut vendue comme bien national mais redevint propriété de la commune en 1823 et fut, finalement, restituée au culte en 1826. Elle se compose d'une nef étroite ouvrant, par un arc en plein cintre, sur une abside voûtée en berceau et à chevet plat. L'auvent protégeant la façade occidentale est postérieur à la période romane, de même que son accès par le côté sud.

This church of the 12th century, today disused, is a Romanesque building of homogeneous appearance. In 1796, it was sold as national property but became the property of the commune again in 1823 and was finally restored to worship in 1826. It consists of a narrow nave opening, by a round arch, onto a barrel vault abside with flat chevet. The canopy protecting the west façade is posterior to the Romanesque period, as is its access from the south side.
