The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice formé, à l'époque romane, d'une nef d'une travée comprise entre une abside semi-circulaire et un clocher-mur. Au Moyen-Age, une nouvelle travée fut adossée au clocher. Au 17e siècle furent ajoutés un porche, une tour d'escalier, deux chapelles latérales. La sacristie date du 18e siècle. Au 19e siècle, les deux chapelles latérales furent reconstruites et terminées en abside. Sous le choeur se trouve une chapelle romane voûtée, sans doute une crypte.

History
Building formed, in the Romanesque period, of a nave of one bay comprised between a semi-circular apse and a wall bell tower. In the Middle Ages, a new bay was added against the bell tower. In the 17th century there were added a porch, a stair tower, two lateral chapels. The sacristy dates from the 18th century. In the 19th century, the two lateral chapels were rebuilt and ended in an apse. Beneath the choir is found a Romanesque vaulted chapel, doubtless a crypt.
