The nave and the base of the bell tower are the only remains of the 12th century church.
The transept, which disappeared during the Wars of Religion, has not been replaced.
The facade is composed of a portal with five arches surmounted by a high bay and framed by two ornate doors.
The small adjoining tower contains the staircase leading to the bell tower.
The church has a square bell tower from the beginning of the 13th century consisting of two floors.
The interior of the building is sober, apart from the traces of mural painting dating from the 17th or 17th century, visible on the south wall. We can still distinguish the remains of a frieze and false curtains. The ribbed vault of the first two bays of the nave rests on scrolled capitals. The third bay comprises a circular dome resting on an octagonal plan redeemed by horns.
On the first floor, a high semicircular window. The apse is semi-circular. The first floor is decorated with a series of five semicircular arches, the capitals of which are nicely worked. This floor is decorated with five arches and surmounted by a mordillon cornice and two high windows on three sides.
Only the west facade has only one.
