Description
The church has a nave with a broken cradle ceiling and a round apse. Originally, the nave was illuminated by three windows on the south side, but these are now hidden by side chapels added later. The apse in oven ass is adorned with a sawtooth cornice, supported by carved baskets. The bell tower is raised at the front of the church and has openings where the bells are installed. To the west, a porch provides access to the nave. This porch is decorated with four small columns with capitals decorated with acanthus leaves, holding a large archivolt decorated with rays cannelures and various relief patterns (heads of bulls, birds, fantastic creatures). The edges of the boosts where the columns are found are embellished with a throat with human heads or carved capitals. There is no eardrum. The modern wooden door has two ring hammers dating from the 16th century.
