Description
The building was mentioned in 978. The church underwent major work at the beginning of the 16th century. The additions of the 17th century, including the northern chapel and another chapel, have not changed its general appearance. It is a single nave structure, extending by a semi-circular apse inside and polygonal outside, dating from the 11th century. A chapel erected in the 17th century opens onto the north side, while another 16th century chapel houses the baptismal font and retains its quadripartite wound. The western portal, the changes in the nave, the frame and the bell tower date from the 1510s. The old presbytery was added to the southern side of the nave in the 18th or 19th century.
