The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise fondée en 1127. Edifice à nef unique avec un choeur à cinq pans. Chaque pan est percé d'une baie en plein-cintre. A l'entrée du choeur s'élèvent, de chaque côté, deux piliers à tailloirs. L'ensemble de l'édifice est couvert d'un plafond lambrissé. Les principales modifications ont touché la couverture, sans doute au 17e siècle.

History
Church founded in 1127. Edifice with a single nave with a choir in five bays. Each bay is pierced with an opening in round arch. At the entrance to the choir rise, on each side, two pillars with abacus. The whole edifice is covered with a coffered ceiling. The principal alterations have affected the roof, doubtless in the 17th century.
