"The old church was built in the 15th century, the bell tower at the foot of the nave was from 1760. Reported in very bad condition, it was rebuilt entirely in 1887 by the architect Arthur Regnault who reuses elements of the old building.

An inscription should be noted on the west facade: F. LOISEL.MARIE 1887 P.TH. Magnan. RECTOR. The homogeneous church has Neo-Byzantine-style furniture also designed by the architect.

This modest program is, however, very well cared for both in its exterior design and in its interior design.

The current church consists of a simple nave and a right chevet of the fifteenth century. The bell tower, formerly placed in the middle of the building, was brought back to the West in 1760: today it is replaced by a modern bell tower. There is the tombstone of Dom Gilles Dupré (sub-priest in 1505). "

" L´ancienne église avait été construite au 15e siècle, le clocher élevé au bas de la nef était de 1760. Signalée en très mauvais état, elle est reconstruite entièrement en 1887 par l'architecte Arthur Regnault qui réutilise des éléments de l'ancien édifice.

Une inscription est à signaler sur la façade ouest : F. LOISEL.MARIE 1887 P.TH. MAGNAN. RECTEUR. L´église homogène possède un mobilier de style néo-byzantin également dessiné par l´architecte.

Ce programme modeste est toutefois très soigné autant dans sa réalisation extérieure et que dans sa conception intérieure.

L'église actuelle se compose d'une simple nef et d'un chevet droit du XVème siècle. Le clocher, placé autrefois au milieu de l'édifice, a été reporté à l'Ouest en 1760 : il est remplacé aujourd'hui par un clocher moderne. On y trouve la pierre tombale de Dom Gilles Dupré (sub-curé en 1505). "
