The oldest part of the current building, which was built on the plan of a Latin cross, is the Romanesque transept from the 13th century. The choir was built in the 15th century, the late Gothic nave in the 15th and 16th. Century. The frescoes there are dated to the 15th century. Finally, the west portal was added, which has elements of the Renaissance style.
