Description
Originally, the church consisted of a single nave dating from the 12th century. The choir, with a flat bedside, is decorated with a cradle vault. There is a square transept, without arms, surmounted by a dome resting on four slightly curved doubly. One of the sides is embellished by arcades, while the other was widely modified in the 14th century to allow the construction of a chapel. This dome is the only example of a Périgord style in the region, with pendants, while the other domes in the area are built on trunk. The nave, which also dates from the 12th century, is crowned with 14th century vaults. The entrance to the church is marked by a 12th century Romanesque portal, as well as carved modillions.
