Description

The church has a flat bedside dating from the 12th century, as well as a choir of the same period which was then vaulted as a broken cradle. In the past, the nave was vaulted as a cradle, but the spacing of the walls caused its collapse. This vault was replaced by a 14th century frame. A platform, erected in the 17th century, occupies the last section of the nave and gives access to the porch. The bell tower-porch, built in the 14th century, is open on three sides with three large portals, each having, on its interior and exterior faces, six rows of columns decorated with capitals decorated with heads and hooks. To the north of the church is a polylobé portal dating from the end of the 12th century, of the Correzian type.
