A small belfry with a pyramid roof protrudes from the long building. Inside is nave , provided with wooden ceiling nave on his right side from a side chapel and a small of 1989 sacristy flanked with an apse completed with three exterior walls. A gilded wood tabernacle dates from the end of the 18th century and is registered as a national treasure.
