Description
Oriented towards the east, the church has a single nave and a semi-circular apse decorated with arcades outside. A side chapel was added on the north side later, as well as a sacristy in a more recent time. Between the nave and the apse, there is part of the choir which corresponds to the triumphal arch. The western wall is crowned by a bell tower with two openings, the upper floor of which is set back. Renovated in 1736 and 1867, the western door has preserved or received reused old leaves, equipped with fittings. Each leaf is embellished by three symmetrical spiral hinges, fixed by round head nails, and flat irons complement this structure.
