Malgré de notables modifications introduites aux 15e et 16e siècles, le plan primitif du 13e siècle. Le plan du 13e siècle comprend : un choeur ou sanctuaire composé de trois chapelles ou niches rayonnant sur la moitié d'un cercle ; une travée formant transept avec coupole sur pendentif sur laquelle s'élève le clocher ; trois autres travées formant la nef avec des colonnes aux chapiteaux historiés ou végétaux. Au 15e siècle, ajout au nord d'une sacristie et deux chapelles dont une restaurée en 1613. Au sud, une chapelle et la tour de l'escalier qui conduit à l'étage fortifié remontent au 15e siècle. La porte d'entrée latérale sud s'ornait de voussures reposant sur huit colonnes aux chapiteaux sont historiés. Sur le chambranle, sont sculptées les représentations de vices.
