Scene Description: Source caption: "L’église, très ancienne, semble remonter au XI e siècle. Elle a conservé de cette époque le chœur et l’abside en hémicycle, décorée de corbeaux. Le portail d’ouest et le clocher-mur qui le surmontent datent de la fin du XIIe siècle. Une restauration eut lieu en 1902, mais elle respecta un encorbellement, très rare."
