Church founded in the 11th century, dependent on the archdeaconry of Montfort. Built in the Romanesque style, it originally had a single nave extended by an apse. The building was remodeled in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The two side chapels were successively added in 1550 (north) and in 1607 (south). The western portal dates from the 16th century. It is flanked by bas-reliefs embedded in the masonry dating from the construction of the building and which represent masks, volutes and circles. In the north wall is another vestige of the ancient decoration of the church, a curious stone statue probably representing Saint George. The spire of the bell tower has been registered as a historic monument since January 6, 1926. The registration was extended to the entire building and the sacristy on July 1, 2015.
