The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église se compose d'une nef terminée par un chevet plat, et flanquée d'un bas-côté sud. L'édifice doit dater du 12e siècle, comme en témoignent le portail ouest à double voussure et les modillons sculptés du mur sud. Un clocher en pierre de taille a été érigé contre le mur sud au 14e siècle. Au début du 16e siècle, ajout d'un bas-côté sud formant quatre chapelles dont la dernière sera transformée en sacristie à la fin du 17e siècle. Les vitraux du choeur et du mur nord de la nef seraient dus à un peintre verrier nommé "maître de Saint-Jacques".

The church consists of a nave terminated by a flat chevet, and flanked by a south aisle. The building must date from the 12th century, as evidenced by the west portal with double voussure and the sculpted modillions of the south wall. A stone dressed bell tower was erected against the south wall in the 14th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, addition of a south aisle forming four chapels of which the last will be transformed into a sacristy at the end of the 17th century. The stained-glass windows of the choir and of the north wall of the nave are said to be due to a stained-glass painter named "master of Saint-Jacques".
