Description
Building part of a set of castle, dating from the Romanesque era, with a nave with a cradle flanked by aisles with half-breed vaults, and ending with a flat bedside top surmounted by a square with square base. At an intermediate time, a porch was added to the west. In the 15th century, two new chapels were built next to the church. The bell tower, the choir and one of the chapels of the 15th century were destroyed during transformations into an agricultural building, probably at the end of the 19th century. The church was once decorated with murals, still visible at the end of the 19th century and reproduced. This church is a representative example of primitive Romanesque architecture.
