"The church of Saint-Crépin and Saint-Crépinien, built in the 12th century on a very simple plan. It also had wider aisles to accommodate more worshippers.

A solid square bell tower, with two floors topped by a gable roof, rises over the crossing of the transept. The building, undoubtedly damaged during the wars of religion, in fact underwent an almost total reconstruction at the end of the 16th century.

The facade has also undergone modifications, the portal is the oldest element of the church. The porch is intended to protect the main access to the church. We can still see a frieze on the facade. At the bottom of the roof of the nave, we can see figures, such as were found in the 12th century in Romanesque art."

"L’église Saint-Crépin et Saint-Crépinien, bâtie au XIIe s sur un plan très simple. Elle a eu en rajout, des bas-côtés plus larges afin d'accueillir plus de fidèles..

Un solide clocher de plan carré, à deux étages surmontés d’une toiture en bâtière, s’élève sur la croisée du transept. L’édifice, sans doute endommagé pendant les guerres de religion, a en effet connu une reconstruction presque totale à la fin du XVIe s.

La façade a également subi des modifications, le portail est l'élément le plus ancien de l'église. Le porche est destiné à protéger l'accès principal de l'église. On distingue encore une frise sur la façade. Au bas de la toiture de la nef, on aperçoit des figures, tel qu'on en trouvait au XIIème dans l'art roman."
