History

Of the Romanesque building only the chevet remains, largely remodelled in the 19th century. The triumphal arch and its supports (including the capitals of Daniel in the lion's den, the original sin by the sculptor Cabanne) date from the 19th century. In the 19th century also, important restorations are undertaken in a neo-Gothic style by the architect Alaux. The building is enlarged, the nave and north aisle are covered with prismatic rib vaults. The square Romanesque porch tower is replaced by a three-level porch tower terminated by a spire. The church also receives in the 19th century painted decoration by Ricaud. The church preserves in the south aisle a reredos-altar of 1871 signed Jabouin, also author of the high altar. Stained glass dated 1823, 1860-1865, by Villiet.
