A fine example of Romanesque art from the 12th century, the semicircular apse in cul-de-four and the three round bays make the church a pure example of Romanesque art from the 12th century. The arms of the transepts are doubled by apses, the octagonal bell tower has small Romanesque windows. The porch of the church allowed the faithful to shelter or discuss before or after the services. It extends the nave, not vaulted from the twelfth century. Grotesque modillions can be seen at the bedside. The church contains a 15th-century pedestrian. Polychrome stone pedestrian of the 15th century, restored in 2016.
