The building comprises a large rectangular nave of the 12th century, in masonry, extended by a double transept of the years 1220-1250 for the eastern part, and of the 16th century for the western part. It terminates with a flat chevet of the 12th century. A bell tower of the 13th or 14th century crowns the building at the crossing of the eastern transept. The two transepts had their roof covering remade in the 15th century. They rest on substantial pillars with carved capitals of the 13th century. The church is situated at the centre of a parish enclosure surrounded by a mason-built wall with a coping.
