The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice d'origine romane dont la nef fut agrandie de deux travées occidentales sans doute au début du 17e siècle, et pourvue d'un collatéral nord au 19e siècle. A l'intérieur, l'abside s'orne de peintures murales illustrant l'enfance et la passion du Christ. Les peintures du chevet remontent à la fin du 15e ou début 16e siècle ; celles de l'embrasement de la fenêtre d'axe du choeur et du mur nord de la travée droite du choeur datent du 17e siècle. Le dessin le plus ancien est souligné d'un trait noir.

History
Building of Romanesque origin whose nave was enlarged by two western bays no doubt in the early 17th century, and provided with a north aisle in the 19th century. Inside, the apse is decorated with murals illustrating the childhood and passion of Christ. The paintings of the chevet date from the end of the 15th or early 16th century; those of the splaying of the axial window of the choir and of the north wall of the straight bay of the choir date from the 17th century. The oldest drawing is underlined with a black line.
