Romanesque church of the 12th century The two arms of the transept are vaulted in cradle The central part supporting an octagonal bell tower is vaulted in dome.

The apsidioles are vaulted at the end of the oven, as well as the apse. The nave dates from the 14th century. The Romanesque facade was rebuilt in the same style at the end of the 19th century.

Lateral passages connect the nave and the apse with the transept, a rare device in the department. In the 15th century, a chapel was contiguous to the north. "
