L'église date du début du 18e siècle mais a été plusieurs fois remaniée suite à des incendies. Son décor intérieur est particulièrement riche.

La première travée est occupée par la tribune soutenue par deux pilastres doriques.

History
The church dates from the beginning of the 18th century but has been modified several times following fires. Its interior decoration is particularly rich.
Description
The single nave consists of four bays of square plan vaulted with groins resting on Doric pilasters engaged in the thickness of the façades. The first bay is occupied by the gallery supported by two Doric pilasters. The nave is lit only from one side, by four windows pierced in the south wall (another is pierced beneath the gallery). The interior is decorated with frescoes.
