Description
The large empty walls with a few rare windows give the building an air of fortress, which was probably because it was connected to the castle by sections of wall. There must have been a habitable floor in the nave. Inside, the capitals are richly decorated. The rectangular nave, is flanked by columns engaged on the sides and benefits from a vault in cradle without doubleau. An octagonal dome decorated with curved triangles was initially planned above the crossroads, but it was probably never built and was replaced by a cradle interrupted by a double. The apse is decorated with small independent columns with a cord decorated at the base of the vault in oven ass. In the 15th century, a sort of spur crowned with bin was added to the center of the big apse.
