The Romance church, the bell tower of the XIIth century of which is kept(preserved), is rebuilt at the beginning of the XIIIth century: his(her,its) chorus(choir) and his(her,its) nave are typical of style from Anjou, with his(her,its) rounded vaults adorned with small characters and with stages(scenes) historiées. The church is extended at the beginning of the XVIth century by a series of chapel training(forming) shoulder: its vaults with nervures drawing stars illustrate last development of style Flamboyant Gothic. Lighted(Enlightened) by stained-glass windows very coloured with the workshop Lobin (XIXth century) and with TJ HANSSEN (1950), the church shelters a beautiful original marble of J Déchin: Jeanne d'Arc in prayer in the church Saint-Maurice of Chinon, and an old(former) copy of a picture(board) of Rubens: the Saint-family to the parrot. The organ Merklin of 1893 is under way of classification(ranking) in conformance with(for) historic monuments.
