L'édifice présente une nef principale de trois travées fermée par un chevet plat, flanquée au sud d'un collatéral de même plan. Les murs du flanc nord de la nef et du chevet semblent correspondre à un édifice à nef unique de la fin de l'époque romane. Le portail orné de plusieurs moulures toriques reposant sur des chapiteaux est daté du début du 13e siècle. Le bas-côté sud date du début du 16e siècle. Le porche occidental et la sacristie datent du 18e siècle.

Church attested from 1250. In 1523, it is mentioned as a priory of the abbey of Blasimon. The building presents a main nave of three bays closed by a flat chevet, flanked on the south by an aisle of the same plan. The walls of the north side of the nave and of the chevet appear to correspond to a building with a single nave of the late Romanesque period. The portal decorated with several toric mouldings resting on capitals is dated to the beginning of the 13th century. The south aisle dates from the beginning of the 16th century. The western porch and the sacristy date from the 18th century.
