The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Selon des mentions de 1120 et 1170, l'église aurait appartenu à l'abbaye de Tournus. Au 14e siècle, l'église est endommagée par des bandes de routiers, puis lors des guerres de Religion et à la Révolution. Abandonnée, elle est sauvée en 1867 par le curé du village qui y transfert le culte. De dimensions modestes, elle comporte une nef flanquée d'un transept bas, un clocher au nord, un chevet plat, une sacristie au sud-est. Le clocher est en grande partie reconstruit en 1875.

History
According to mentions of 1120 and 1170, the church would have belonged to the abbey of Tournus. In the 14th century, the church is damaged by bands of brigands, then during the Wars of Religion and at the Revolution. Abandoned, it is saved in 1867 by the village priest who transfers worship there. Of modest dimensions, it comprises a nave flanked by a low transept, a bell tower to the north, a flat chevet, a sacristy to the south-east. The bell tower is largely rebuilt in 1875.
