Historique
L'église, construite au 11ème ou 12ème siècle, a été presque entièrement rebâtie au 16ème siècle et restaurée au 19ème siècle. L'élévation sud, précédée par un porche rectangulaire, est percée par un portail roman qui conserve les seules sculptures romanes de l'édifice et quelques traces de peintures ocre. Un clocher-mur précède l'édifice à l'ouest. L'église est complétée par un chevet plat à l'est. La nef unique possède un mobilier du 17ème siècle : retables, autel et bénitier. Une croix en pierre sculptée est implantée à l'angle sud-est du cimetière.

History
The church, built in the 11th or 12th century, was almost entirely rebuilt in the 16th century and restored in the 19th century. The south elevation, preceded by a rectangular porch, is pierced by a Romanesque portal which preserves the only Romanesque sculptures of the building and some traces of ochre paintings. A bell tower precedes the building to the west. The church is completed by a flat chevet to the east. The single nave possesses furnishings of the 17th century: altarpieces, altar and stoup. A sculpted stone cross is located at the south-east corner of the cemetery.
