Church of Romanesque origin comprising a single nave. Two former seigneurial chapels built in the 16th century form a sort of southern aisle. The imposing bell-tower was built against the west façade in the middle of the 16th century. The church was plundered in 1561 by the Huguenots and abandoned for nearly two centuries. Some modifications took place in the second half of the 18th century. The furnishings and interior decoration are from the 19th century.
