This little church to a nef is covered with a cradle of wood. The visitor is surprised to find a large set of Romanesque paintings of the xiith century covering the four sides of the choir. These frescoes are among the most remarkable of the Romanesque art in France. Preceded by the intrados of the arc of entry of a calendar in twelve paintings representing the rural work of the months of the year, they illustrate the life of Christ, from the Annonunciation to the first miracle in Cana. In 1911, painter André Humbert, the painter of outstanding paintings at the Pantheon, brought these scenes to light by carefully detaching the layers of badid that fully covered the walls of the building. The paintings are in very good condition. On the west wall of the nef, a table of the sixteenth century represents the Virgin to the Child. In 2018, the commune restored the bell, but the church remained open to visit.
