The nave is covered with a wooden vault with exposed beams. The archivolts of the Romanesque door are decorated with saw teeth. The west gable wall is topped with a slender bell tower. The interior contains three classical altars whose designs were apparently made by Mansard at the request of Louvois, owner of the Prairie de Marcilly.

Latin cross plan with one nave. Bell tower rising at the corner of one of the side walls of the nave and one of the arms of the transept. Very simple front facade: semi-circular portal and oculus. Gable of the north arm of the transept pierced with a broken bay with tracery. Church built in the 16th century. A bay dates back to the 11th century; the north chapel dates from the 16th century; church remodeled in the 17th century

In this architecture we find different styles and periods, from the 12th, 15th, 16th to the 19th century, including Gothic and Neo-Romanesque. Romanesque bays and foothills. Stained glass window and 16th century font as well as the current apse and the two side chapels. The south door with its lintel and its straight feet decorated with rosettes and diamonds. The church had stained glass windows from the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century. Fragments exist in the speckles and spandrels of the bay of the Rosary Chapel, listed in 1983. The stained glass windows are almost all dated and signed by the same glass painter between 1885-1889 "af Paris" probably Anselme Fialex, son of François Fialex who was a glass painter in Mayet Creation of an entrance to the square as well as the opening of new 19th century bays. the vault, paneled and undoubtedly painted from the beginning, was redone in 1602 with restoration in the 19th century, when a new decoration was painted. The main altar dates from 1867.

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.
