History

This building was originally the castle chapel. It dates back to the 15th century and consists of a nave covered with a barrel vault in panelled roof structure with principals and moulded tie-beams, a choir in the continuation of the nave and a polygonal sanctuary with lierne and tiercerons vaults. On the north side of the nave there is a seigneurial chapel also of the 15th century vaulted on a rib vault with liernes and tiercerons. Access is by a door surmounted by an ogee arch with crockets, fleuron and pinnacles of framing carved. In the 17th century, a monumental portal combined with brick and cut flint was applied against the western gable of the chapel. The church preserves a marble tomb of the 17th century whose effigies have disappeared, but which preserves a sarcophagus with military emblems and a plaque covered with inscription.
