L'église est formée d'une nef unique à trois travées, fermée à l'est par un chevet plat. A l'ouest, un mur-pignon surmonte la façade. Le couvrement actuel est une réfection du 19e siècle. Les baies sont modernes. Un porche édifié après 1860 s'appuie contre la façade ouest.

The former commandery of Roquebrune is attested from the end of the 12th century. The commandery and church were sold at the Revolution. The church was repurchased and restored in the 19th century. The church is formed of a single nave of three bays, closed to the east by a flat chevet. To the west, a gable wall surmounts the façade. The present covering is a restoration of the 19th century. The openings are modern. A porch built after 1860 leans against the west façade.
