Originally a small Romanesque-style church dating to the 12th century, it was rebuilt in the 19th century.
It houses a 15th-century wooden crucifix as well as a painting dating to the 17th century.
The bell tower was built in 1931.
Traces of its Romanesque origins are evident in the outer walls of the apse, built with rough blocks of sandstone, on which anthropomorphic figures and pagan symbols clearly stand out. These must have belonged to a pre-existing Roman temple; a denticulated cornice indeed runs around the top of the building, supported by thirteen stone brackets (replaced in part) decorated with carvings of animals, plants and small human heads.

The apse, dating to the end of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteenth centuries, is the only original part of the church remaining to this day. Its walls are built from irregularly-shaped blocks of stone which do not fit together perfectly; its three splayed windows are worthy of note, even though only the one in the centre, with columns to either side, is original without doubt. The column capitals are interesting, decorated at the base with a garland of leaves and twine, and with fluted ribbons at the top.
