FR Il a été difficile de trouver des informations sur cette église paroissiale.
Elle date du XVe siècle et indique que le village devait être bien plus peuplé qu'il ne l'est aujourd'hui car c'est une très grande construction : haute mais surtout large et longue.
Wikipdia nous indique que dans un premier temps, le clocher fut classé aux monuments historiques en 1949 puis le batiment au complet en 1984.
Enfin, on sait que de nombreuses peintures murales ont été rénovées récemment.
EN It was difficult to find information about this parish church.
It dates from the 15th century and indicates that the village must have been much more populated than it is today because it is a very large building: high but above all wide and long.
Wikipdia tells us that initially, the bell tower was classified as a historic monument in 1949 then the entire building in 1984.
Finally, we know that many murals have been renovated recently.
