The bell tower is on the first west bay of the nave. Threatening ruin, it was rebuilt from 1854 to 1860 by the diocesan architect Boyer. A new bell tower was installed in 1999 by the Historic Monuments Service. It is covered with chestnut tiles and houses three bells. The general interest of the church led to the classification, as a whole, historical monument (Mr.H.) December 11, 1987.
