"Classical building entirely built in the 17th century, its plan may have been drawn up by architect Lemercier.

The church consists of a large central vessel flanked by two aisles. The transept is formed by a wider span than the others.

The two chapels placed at the bottom of each of the collaterals are decorated with sculptures, painted ceilings and altarpieces. In elevation, the interior layout obeys a Doric arrangement whose entablature receives the stone vaults.

The main facade is decorated with two superimposed orders, with niches on each side of the door and the central window. "

L'église se compose d'un grand vaisseau central flanqué de deux bas-côtés. Le transept est formé par une travée plus large que les autres.

Les deux chapelles placées au fond de chacun des collatéraux sont décorées de sculptures, plafonds peints et retables. En élévation, la disposition intérieure obéit à une ordonnance dorique dont l'entablement reçoit les voûtes en pierre.

La façade principale est décorée de deux ordres superposés, avec niches de chaque côté de la porte et de la fenêtre centrale. "
