Church built in the 12th century, having subsequently suffered from wars, in particular that of the Hundred Years. Restored in the 15th century. Single nave plan, ending with a straight apse. The nave is divided into three bays. The walls have large arches resting on very wide pilasters. Ribbed brick vaults were built in 1881 and rest on round columns. The transept is slightly wider. Cupola on pendants. A wall separates the used part of the building from the old chancel, which had three bays of 15th century ribbed vaults. These were destroyed. The bedside wall is straight and lit by three windows. The western facade opens with a semicircular portal with three arches and circular columns of primitive appearance, and is decorated with two blind doors. Two heads adorn the tympanum of the south blind door. The triangular gable has been truncated and ends in a modern campanile. The north side retains the square tower of the old 15th century bell tower.
