Contre la façade occidentale de l'église se dresse la tour d'origine romane fortement restaurée qui comporte quatre niveaux en léger retrait l'un par rapport à l'autre.
La face méridionale de la tour est ornée d'une porte cintrée surmontée d'une petite niche baroque à volutes dont la base porte un chronogramme de 1669, difficilement lisible :

beneDICtatV In MVLIerIbVs
