Built in the 12th century, the church was undoubtedly one of those which suffered great damage during the Hundred Years War. It underwent major repairs in the 15th century (repair of the vaults of the nave). The building is rectangular in plan, with a single nave, terminated by a semicircular apse. The three-bay nave is covered with ribbed vaults which rest on circular columns backed by pilasters. In the square of the transept, pointed arches with two rollers and dome on pendants. The vaulted apse in the bottom of the oven is decorated with five arches on circular columns, and lit by four windows with round columns. The capitals are carved with characters and animals. The western facade opens with a 13th century pointed arch portal. The transept is surmounted by a square bell tower, presenting a floor of three arches on pilasters and a floor without ornament. The south and north walls preserve vestiges of arches and funerary liter.
