Datée de la fin du 11e siècle, elle fut défigurée pendant les guerres de Religion, puis restaurée au 17e siècle. L'entrée s'effectue par une porte plein cintre encadrée de deux fenêtres. Le chevet a conservé son abside principale et ses absidioles latérales en plein cintre. Clocher carré datant du 19e siècle. A l'intérieur, la sculpture des chapiteaux se décline sur différents thèmes : végétation ; animaux ; histoire religieuse."

Font Notes:
Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with leaf motifs at the front and sides; the one at the front frames the space where the cover lock is located, a square frame with a leafy shape below and a prolongation as piping all the way down the base; the motif on the right side of the basin appears more frilly than leafy; the one on the left looks like a tree-of-life symbol with curled branches; the base is polygonal with piping at regular intervals; the back of the font is against the wall of the niche in which the font is located; the back is hidden under the font cover, which is secured to the back wall, therefore it is very difficult to tell whether the back of the font is free-standing or partly embedded in the back wall. The cover itself is hinged at the back, and has large nails driven upwards to impede the top being used as a seat. The location and type of locking mechanism for the cover is characteristic of this area of the Pyrenees, bot north and south. [NB: we have no information on the original 11th-century church here].
