Historique
L'église, dominée par un clocher à flèche en charpente, présente un plan en croix avec un vaisseau et deux chapelles latérales, au nord et au sud. La première chapelle, au sud, est dédiée à Saint-Jean, tandis que celle située au nord fut bâtie en 1782 et forme le bras nord du transept. La charpente sur poteaux de bois, probablement datée du 14ème siècle, constitue l'élément le plus remarquable de cet édifice.

History
The church, dominated by a bell tower with a timber spire, presents a cross plan with a nave and two lateral chapels, to the north and south. The first chapel, to the south, is dedicated to Saint-Jean, while that located to the north was built in 1782 and forms the north arm of the transept. The roof structure on wooden posts, probably dated to the 14th century, constitutes the most remarkable element of this building.
