Historique
Edifice dont le clocher porche occidental conduit à une nef à un vaisseau ouvrant sur un choeur inscrit dans une abside semi-circulaire. D'origine et de plan roman, l'édifice eut un choeur couvert d'une voûte d'ogives au 13e siècle. La porte de la nef, avec son arc brisé trilobé, appartient au 14e siècle. Le clocher porche, à puissants contreforts angulaires, semble dater du 15e ou 16e siècle.

History
Building whose western porch tower leads to a nave with a single vessel opening onto a choir inscribed in a semi-circular apse. Of Romanesque origin and plan, the building had a choir covered with a rib vault in the 13th century. The door of the nave, with its trilobed pointed arch, belongs to the 14th century. The porch tower, with powerful angular buttresses, appears to date from the 15th or 16th century.
