The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise rurale bâtie en 1827 par Antoine Calderon selon les prescriptions de Vitruve et Palladio, mais sur le programme demandé par la commune (trois nefs voûtées, porche et clocher sur le devant). C'est un exemple rare de néo-classicisme naissant en Anjou.
