About
The oldest part of this church, consisting of the choir and the north absidiole, probably dates from the 12th or 13th century. Five-bay arcatures adorn the walls of both spaces
This decoration, characteristic of the Romanesque style, suggests that the plan was originally trefoil
The rest is a late addition, notably the south absidiole, the bell tower and the stained glass windows. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
