The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise du 12e siècle, agrandie au 15e siècle et au début du 16e siècle. Elle a perdu son couvrement au cours des guerres de Religion. Elle a été fermée au public en 1895 (déclarée très délabrée dès 1857). L'édifice se compose d'une nef rectangulaire et d'une travée de choeur avec deux chapelles latérales, et un chevet en abside à pans coupés. Accotée à la partie ouest du mur nord de la nef, se dresse une tour clocher carrée avec sa tour d'escalier. Le pignon ouest est l'ancien clocher-mur à deux pans de l'édifice originel. Côté sud s'ouvre un portail gothique surmonté d'une baie à remplage flamboyant. A l'intérieur, les arcs prennent naissance sur des culots sculptés (Vierge à l'Enfant, dragon, ange, feuilles, Christ tenant un globe...).

History
Church of the 12th century, enlarged in the 15th century and at the beginning of the 16th century. It lost its roof covering in the course of the Wars of Religion. It was closed to the public in 1895 (declared very dilapidated as early as 1857). The building consists of a rectangular nave and a bay of choir with two lateral chapels, and a chevet in apse with cut pans. Attached to the western part of the north wall of the nave, stands a square bell tower with its staircase tower. The western gable is the old two-pan bell wall of the original building. On the south side opens a Gothic portal surmounted by an opening with flamboyant tracery. Inside, the arches spring from sculpted corbels (Virgin and Child, dragon, angel, leaves, Christ holding a globe...).
