Description
The first reference to the old church, which no longer exists today, dates from 927. This building was replaced in the 11th century by the current church, probably built in the same place. The single nave ends with a semi-circular bedtime bed. The entrance is located to the south, under a full-line arc door. The bedside was raised and was once surmounted by a chamfered cornice which is still intact. In the 19th century, a brick bell was added to the Western gable. The nave is covered with terracotta slabs and has a broken cradle vault. The choir, meanwhile, is narrower and lower than the nave, and it is covered with an oven ass.
