Description
Originally, a simple chapel in the 13th century, the church was enlarged and raised in the 17th century, in particular with the addition of a porch bell tower and two levels of stands inside. The interior decoration began at the end of the 17th century and continued in the 18th century with the creation of the frescoes on the ceiling of the nave in 1732 and the choir in 1752. In the 19th century, a sacristy was built, the bell tower was raised and stained glass windows were installed in the choir. The church includes a porch bell tower under which is a rectangular nave surrounded by wooden stands on two levels. The painted ceiling of the nave is adorned with foliage and arabesques, while that of the choir shows the Holy Trinity surrounded by evangelists. North of the church is the old Beno -Maisonrie.
