A hall church of three aisles and four bays, raised on a small Romanesque church whose base and north corner were reused. The apse and the first two bays date from about 1520 and the two bays at the west end from about 1550; the chapter house, the upper choir and the north portal were begun in 1584 and finished around 1595, and in 1692 a larger sacristy was built, which now also serves as a small museum. In 2010 the interior was cleaned of the plaster that covered the stonework.
