Origins
The church is twelfth-century.

What to See
The façade is heavily influenced by the Saintonge style: the portal has four round archivolts which are supported by pillars with sculptured capitals and it is framed by two blind arches. Above the door is a modillioned cornice supporting five niches composed of colonnettes and round arches. In the place of the original gable now stands a massive, square bell tower. The nave has three bays and leads to a rounded apse. Inside, there is an early eighteenth-century alter piece.
