The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église, d'origine romane et remaniée en façade au 13e siècle, a été en majeure partie reconstruite aux 15e et 16e siècles. Au début du 19e siècle y est installé un décor mobilier daté de 1623 et provenant d'un couvent détruit à la Révolution. A partir du milieu du 19e siècle, une importante campagne de travaux a conféré au bâtiment son aspect définitif. Deux bas-côtés identiques encadrent la nef centrale, terminée à l'est par un chevet polygonal. La façade ouest, coiffée d'un clocher-mur, conserve son portail du 13e siècle, remanié au 16e. Au niveau de la première travée subsistent quelques éléments de la première construction romane. Les voûtes ont été relancées au 19e siècle.

The church, of Romanesque origin and reworked in façade in the 13th century, was largely rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, a movable decoration dated 1623 and coming from a convent destroyed at the Revolution was installed in it. From the middle of the 19th century, an important campaign of works gave the building its final appearance. Two identical aisles frame the central nave, terminated to the east by a polygonal chevet. The west façade, topped with a bell gable, preserves its 13th-century portal, reworked in the 16th. At the level of the first bay some elements of the first Romanesque construction remain. The vaults were re-pitched in the 19th century.
