Description
It was originally a Romanesque building, of which only the bedside remains, reworked and reinforced in the 14th century, to which two aisles were added in the 19th century. A small entrance to the choir separates the latter from the nave. The choir is vaulted in oven ass. The entrance bell tower has a vault in warheads, the arcs extending to the ground, with chapiteaux carved of foliage on one side and characters on the other to emphasize their base. A polygonal staircase turret is hung on the south side of the bell tower. This turret and the west side of the bell tower kept their small defensive openings. Small square openings are pierced under the roof to shed light on the bedside defense system.
