De plan rectangulaire, elle est dotée d'une nef assez longue reconstruite sans doute après les guerres de Cent ans, au 15e siècle. En partie haute, un auvent recouvert d'ardoise abrite deux baies de campanile qui aurait remplacé le clocher abattu avant la Révolution. Une voûte d'ogives en plâtre construite en 1861 et qui recouvrait la nef, a laissé la place à la charpente du début du 17e siècle."
