The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le clocher, qui semble dater du 15ème siècle, paraît être la partie la plus ancienne de cette église. Le choeur de deux travées et abside polygonale, entre deux chapelles au nord et au sud, a vraisemblablement été élevé plus tard, vers la fin du 15ème siècle ou le début du 16ème siècle. Une troisième chapelle, au nord-est du choeur, est postérieure à 1566. La nef, à lorigine plafonnée sous un toit en laves, paraît plus tardive, peut-être du début du 17ème siècle. Elle recevra une voûte en bois en 1883.

History
The bell tower, which appears to date from the 15th century, seems to be the oldest part of this church. The chancel of two bays and polygonal apse, between two chapels to the north and south, was presumably built later, towards the end of the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century. A third chapel, to the north-east of the chancel, is later than 1566. The nave, originally ceiled under a roof of slates, appears more late, perhaps from the beginning of the 17th century. It will receive a wooden vault in 1883.
