An elongated plan building with a ship ending in a flat chevet. The walls pierced with semicircular bays are topped with a long roof in flat tiles.

The choir is a 12th century construction, in polygonal apse, whose windows are arched and whose columns have capitals of crosses.

The nave is much more modern, it is a white stone building of the eighteenth century.

A bell tower on the western façade is crowned with a polygonal slate arrow.

In the bell tower is an old bell on which one reads:

" The year MVCCXXXIX (1234) was done. Louis Bonrut, lord of Thimbrone, Baron de Hincherville, lady Balle-Damies, Master A. Hernet, parish priest of this place, Master N. de Pont, priest of St. Martin"
