Description

The church consists of a rectangular nave, ended in the east by a chorus of a span with an apse with three sides. The span of the nave preceding the choir is surrounded by low -protruding side chapels. The bell tower is at the bottom of the nave, placed diagonally in the southwest corner. Apart from the two side chapels which seem modern and have been added to accommodate two altars, the rest of the building dates from the 15th century. It has a ribbed vault and is supported by heavy buttresses. The western portal, with its openwork network and its hooked gable, has retained its original layout but was largely renovated.
