Introduction
Surrounded by a cemetery, it comprises three naves built at different times.
The 12th-century Romanesque edifice comprises a central nave, a cross-vaulted apse adorned with an arcature from Lorraine, and a square tower.
In the 13th century, this ensemble was extended by a north aisle, into which the door with its three-lobed tympanum opens.
From the 14th to the 16th century, the church was fortified by the addition of a circular dungeon-tower, then by raising the whole building to provide a refuge floor. Numerous defensive features are still visible: bretèche, archères, cannonières and watch windows.
The third nave was built in neo-Romanesque style in 1895. Inside, the poorly preserved 16th-century frescoes were replaced by a new program painted in 1902. The Link organ, installed in 1910, was restored in 2004.
