Description

The nave includes two spans with cradle vaults. Two aisles open on this nave by large semicircular berries. The capitals of the columns present sculptures representing Christians in front of wild beasts. Their abaks, also decorated with human, animal figures and plant patterns, extend on the batteries to reach the cord of billets. The choir has a vault in oven ass. Outside, the church has a fortified style, with a square bell tower and a round turret for the stairs. The old part of this bell tower has three levels of loopholes. The semi-circular bedside, of the same height as the bell tower, was also reinforced. A sculpted wooden door from the 17th century, with panels, provides access to the nave by a vanche.
