The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Prieuré signalé dès le 12e siècle, qui appartenait à l'abbaye de Bonneval. Le logis et ses dépendances sont situés au nord de l'église. Il subsiste du prieuré l'emprise au sol et un portail à double archivolte en arc brisé, sans doute du 14e siècle. L'église se compose d'une nef du 12e siècle ouvrant sur un choeur plus étroit avec abside en cul de four. La sacristie de plan carré qui flanque le chevet au nord, contient un décor peint du 18e siècle, composé de grands cartouches contenant des textes. Une grande composition en forme de calvaire occupait le mur ouest.

Priory noted from the 12th century, which belonged to the abbey of Bonneval. The main dwelling and its dependencies are situated to the north of the church. Of the priory there remains the ground plan and a portal with double archivolt in pointed arch, probably from the 14th century. The church is composed of a nave from the 12th century opening onto a narrower choir with semi-dome apse. The square-plan sacristy which flanks the chevet to the north, contains painted decoration from the 18th century, composed of large cartouches containing texts. A large composition in the form of a calvary occupied the west wall.
