The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cet édifice du 15ème siècle a été largement transformé par les restaurations opérées au 19ème siècle. Le clocher-mur fut remplacé par une tour, la partie supérieure des murs fut reprise pour soutenir une nouvelle couverture à deux pans, l’ancienne voûte ayant été supprimée. De nouvelles fenêtres furent ouvertes dans les murs latéraux en remplacement des baies à remplage de style gothique. A l’intérieur, on relève la présence, au-dessus de l’arc triomphal, d’un oculus ainsi que des restes d’un décor peint.

This building of the 15th century was largely transformed by the restorations carried out in the 19th century. The porch tower was replaced by a tower, the upper part of the walls was taken up to support a new two-pitched roof, the former vault having been removed. New windows were opened in the side walls in replacement of bays with Gothic tracery. Inside, there is noted the presence, above the triumphal arch, of an oculus as well as remains of painted decoration.
