Description

De l'édifice d'origine, de style roman, ne reste plus que le portail dont les voussures sont ornées de très curieux tireurs de corde. Le reste du bâtiment a été déconstruit à la fin du xixe siècle pour laisser place à une église de style néogothique. Des chapiteaux romans de l'église ont été récupérés par un collectionneur, Jean Mouliérat, et exposés au château de Castelnau-Bretenoux. From the original Romanesque building, only the portal remains, whose arches are decorated with very curious rope pullers. The rest of the building was deconstructed at the end of the 19th century to make way for a neo-Gothic style church. Romanesque capitals from the church were recovered by a collector, Jean Mouliérat, and displayed at the Castelnau-Bretenoux castle.
