In the years 1140–1170 the flat-closing choir area was renewed in the early Gothic style ; the rose window (actually a wheel window with a quatrefoil as an axis) was installed in the 13th century. In 1821, parts of the church (including the tower) fell victim to a fire and were renovated. The original nave is covered by an open roof truss with wooden drawbars ending in dragon mouths; the aisle has a primitive looking barrel vault and the choir area shows Gothic rib vaults . Church construction has been recognized as a monument historique since 1926 . Several capitals , keystones, etc. are again separately protected.
