"The facade has a gable wall with a arched porch in a slightly broken arch of Romano-Gothic style, with three united archivolts, accompanied in the corners of tori forming columns with carved capitals.It is surmounted by a cornice. Front level seems unfinished because left naked.

An important bell tower is located above the choir. there is then a sanctuary, of square plan and pierced in the bottom of three long and narrow bays. A chapel is to the right of the sanctuary.

on the side walls alternate buttresses and narrow bays. The roof of the nave and the choir are in saddle, while that of bell tower is pyramidal. "

" La façade présente un mur pignon avec un porche à voussures en arc légèrement brisé de style romano-ogival, à trois archivoltes unies, accompagnées dans les angles de tores formant des colonnettes avec chapiteaux sculptés. Il est surmonté d'une corniche. le deuxième niveau de la façade semble inachevé car laissé nu.

Une importante tour clocher se situe au dessus du choeur. se trouve ensuite un sanctuaire, de plan carré et percé dans le fond de trois baies longues et étroites. Une chapelle se trouve à droite du sanctuaire.

sur les murs de côté alternent des contreforts et d'étroites baies. La toiture de la nef et du choeur sont en bâtière, alors que celle de clocher est pyramidale. "
