The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église de 1550 est remplacée par l'édifice actuel, bâti entre 1851 et 1862 sous la direction de Gustave Guérin. Le vaisseau unique est orné d'un ensemble peint en 1863 par Henri Grandin. De style néo-roman, le décor est effectué au pochoir, avec scènes et représentations de saints dans des niches feintes. Cet ensemble traduit l'engouement de la seconde moitié du 19e siècle pour les décors peints.

The church of 1550 is replaced by the present building, constructed between 1851 and 1862 under the direction of Gustave Guérin. The single nave is decorated with a painted ensemble in 1863 by Henri Grandin. In neo-Romanesque style, the decoration is executed by stencil, with scenes and representations of saints in feigned niches. This ensemble reflects the enthusiasm of the second half of the 19th century for painted decoration.
