The bell-tower built in 1726-1727 and restored in 1930 is made
of a first gallery, of the bell-room, of a second gallery and of an octogonal spire.
The bell-tower is 5 or 6 meters lower than it used to be because it was more than once
knocked down by thunder and rebuilt with beautiful stones only. |

The choir and the transept were made in the 16th century. The equilateral vaults as well as the high leaded glass windows are characteristic of gothic art. |
