Au 15e siècle furent entrepris la construction de la chapelle sud, ainsi que le voûtement du choeur et du clocher-porche. Au 16e siècle fut construite la chapelle nord, restaurée en 1670 pour Henri-le-Bègue. Au troisième quart du 17e siècle fut reconstruite la charpente du clocher et du portail ouest.

History
Mentioned in 1158 under the patronage of the Augustinian abbey of Plaimpied, the church was dedicated in 1204. It was the seat of a priory. The nave, choir and apse were built in the second half of the 12th century. In the 13th century, on the first bay of the nave, a porch tower was built. In the 15th century the construction of the south chapel began, as well as the vaulting of the choir and the porch tower. In the 16th century the north chapel was built, restored in 1670 for Henri-le-Bègue. In the third quarter of the 17th century the roof structure of the bell tower and the west portal were rebuilt. An important restoration of the south chapel took place in 1835, then of the roof structure of the bell tower in 1838, by architect Michel Ragon. The sacristy was built in 1902.
