The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice des 11e et 12e siècles dont le portail occidental a été élevé au 13e siècle. Le reste de l'édifice a totalement été remanié au 19e siècle, avec notamment l'adjonction d'un clocher. L'édifice est formé d'un court vestibule, d'une nef de deux travées flanquée de collatéraux, et d'un choeur en hémicycle. Le portail fut construit après 1212 par Bertrand de La Tour auquel le roi Philippe-Auguste avait donné Orcet. Il avait également remanié cette église dans le style du 13e siècle en l'ornant notamment, sur les côtés de la travée précédant l'abside du choeur, d'arcs semblables à celui du portail, qui furent enlevés au 19e siècle.

History
Building of the 11th and 12th centuries of which the western portal was raised in the 13th century. The rest of the building was entirely altered in the 19th century, notably with the addition of a bell tower. The building is formed of a short vestibule, a nave of two bays flanked by side aisles, and a choir in hemicycle. The portal was constructed after 1212 by Bertrand de La Tour to whom King Philippe-Auguste had given Orcet. He had also altered this church in the 13th century style by adorning it notably, on the sides of the bay preceding the apse of the choir, with arches similar to that of the portal, which were removed in the 19th century.
