[FR] "Cette église a été construite dans le deuxième quart du XIIIe siècle. Au XVe siècle, les chapelles latérales ont été construites entre les culées des arcs-boutants. Les chapelles rayonnantes ont été portées au nombre de cinq. Après effondrement, l'élévation latérale nord, les voûtes de la nef, du collatéral nord et de la tribune sur porche ont été reconstruites. Les voûtes de la nef ont été refaites au XVIe siècle, après l'incendie de l'édifice. Des fragments de vitraux du XVe siècle sont conservés dans la chapelle des fonds baptismaux."

[EN] "This church was built in the second quarter of the 13th century. In the 15th century, side chapels were built between the abutments of the buttresses. The radiating chapels were increased to five. After the collapse of the north side elevation, the vaults of the nave, the north side aisle and the porch gallery were rebuilt. The nave vaults were rebuilt in the 16th century, after the building burned down. Fragments of 15th-century stained glass are preserved in the baptismal font chapel."
