The Ministère de la Culture's notice

l'église forme un ensemble composite dont la construction s’étire du 12e au milieu du 19e siècle. A la fin du 15e siècle, elle est agrandie et un nouveau choeur gothique est construit. l'ancien choeur, au rez-de-chaussé du clocher roman, devient une chapelle et est orné de peintures murales représentant des saints et des motifs décoratifs. Agrandie au 18e siècle, la nef prend la forme d’une église-grange à plafond plat en plâtre. Une tribune est ajoutée en 1848 et la tour est rehaussée en 1859 pour permettre l'installation de nouvelles cloches. l'ancien portail roman est conservé sur le mur nord de la nef. Le portail occidental porte la date de 1725.

The church forms a composite ensemble whose construction extends from the 12th to the middle of the 19th century. At the end of the 15th century, it was enlarged and a new Gothic choir was built. The old choir, on the ground floor of the Romanesque bell tower, becomes a chapel and is decorated with mural paintings representing saints and decorative motifs. Enlarged in the 18th century, the nave takes the form of a barn church with a flat plaster ceiling. A gallery was added in 1848 and the tower was raised in 1859 to allow the installation of new bells. The old Romanesque portal is preserved on the north wall of the nave. The west portal bears the date 1725.
