In 1944, the church, which had been disused since 1835, suffered great war damage. Bombed, only the nave walls and bell tower remain. The Romanesque part of the 12th century consists of the chevet, the hemicycle apse and part of the nave. The rest of the nave dates from the late 15th or early 16th century. The bell tower is a square tower from the 16th century. Flamboyant door dates from the early 17th century.
