Au 11e siècle, l'église appartenait à l'abbaye de Noyers qui l'avait reçue en don. Remaniée au 12e siècle, elle fut entièrement reconstruite au 18e, hormis la façade. De l'édifice du 12e siècle subsiste une partie de la façade, avec porte plein cintre à trois rouleaux circonscrits par une archivolte décorée d'une ligne de diamants. L'édifice comprend une nef, un clocher et une abside rectangulaire. Des voûtes de briques furent ajoutées à la fin du 19e siècle.

History
In the 11th century, the church belonged to the abbey of Noyers which had received it as a gift. Altered in the 12th century, it was entirely rebuilt in the 18th, except for the façade. From the 12th-century building remains part of the façade, with a round-arch door with three mouldings circumscribed by an archivolt decorated with a line of diamonds. The building comprises a nave, a bell tower and a rectangular chevet. Brick vaults were added at the end of the 19th century.
