Description

A small building dating from the 15th century consists, at its entrance, of an imposing bell tower, of two sections of nave with aisles and a choir in polygonal shape. During the wars of religion, a fire requires restoration work, especially on the frame. In the 18th century, a column was added to the ground floor of the bell tower. It seems that the church initially possessed a transept which has been extended by a span to the west.
