The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église se démarque essentiellement pour son architecture imposante et ses grandes dimensions. L'emploi du style néoclassique, la volonté d'urbanisme qui se dégage dans la composition de la place et de ses alentours, facilitée par la construction de cette église nouvelle dans un terrain à l'écart du bourg, illustrent bien les caractéristiques architecturales propres aux églises de la période sarde.

History
The church stands out essentially for its imposing architecture and large dimensions. The use of neoclassical style, the urban planning aspiration evident in the composition of the square and its surroundings, facilitated by the construction of this new church on land apart from the village, illustrate well the architectural characteristics specific to churches of the Savoyard period.
