The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise connue depuis 1305. L'édifice a souffert de sa position sur la frontière qui a entraîné, à quatre reprises, des occupations espagnoles dévastatrices (1525, 1636, 1793, 1813). L'édifice a été fortement restauré au 19e siècle. C'est un bâtiment rectangulaire entouré de son cimetière. Il est doté d'un clocher-porche ouest et d'une ancienne maison communale sur un second porche, côté nord. A l'intérieur, deux niveaux de tribunes, reconstruits en 1882, encadrent la nef au plafond lambrissé peint.

History
Church known since 1305. The building suffered from its position on the border which resulted in, on four occasions, devastating Spanish occupations (1525, 1636, 1793, 1813). The building was substantially restored in the 19th century. It is a rectangular building surrounded by its cemetery. It is equipped with a west porch tower and an old communal building on a second porch, on the north side. Inside, two levels of galleries, rebuilt in 1882, frame the nave with a painted panelled ceiling.
