The oldest part of the two-aisled church are the two eastern bays of the north aisle and the rectangular tower above the north aisle, both Romanesque . The wall and pillars date from the 12th century. The rectangular tower with double window openings is reached via the stairs of the small square tower that supports the whole building. The other elements were added in the 16th century. The small square tower and the north facade have loopholes and one perch .

On the west facade, between two building blocks, stands a stylized head statue made from a piece of blue stone from a baptismal font .

Together with the churchyard and the St. Peter's fountain ( fontaine St-Pierre ), the church of St-Pierre was declared a monument historique on September 27, 1948.
