The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église fut agrandie au 19e siècle mais conserva, cependant, son clocher du 16e siècle. A la scansion régulière des contreforts répond, à l'intérieur, le rythme des pilastres. La modénature extérieure se distingue par la finesse de la mouluration des cordons animant les façades latérales. La qualité de cette architecture néoclassique dépouillée repose sur la maîtrise de la mise en œuvre des matériaux soulignée par quelques éléments décoratifs.

History
The church was enlarged in the 19th century but nevertheless retained its bell tower of the 16th century. To the regular rhythm of the buttresses corresponds, in the interior, the rhythm of the pilasters. The external moulding is distinguished by the fineness of the moulded cordons enlivening the lateral facades. The quality of this stripped neoclassical architecture rests on the mastery of the implementation of materials emphasized by a few decorative elements.
