History
Building whose 13th-century choir features vaulting with multiple ribs, characteristic of this region. The seigneurial funeral chapel was added between 1470 and 1475 to the north of the nave. Rebuilt at the end of the Middle Ages, the nave was restored from 1852. Architect Alcide Créchet extends it by one bay surmounted by a gallery and a belfry, and has most of the openings reworked.
