The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce majestueux édifice est isolé en pleine campagne, à équidistance des différents hameaux composant cette commune. L'église, très homogène, a été intégralement reconstruite dans les trois premiers quarts du 16e siècle, à l'initiative de l'abbaye bénédictine de Breteuil, qui possédait les grosses dîmes de la paroisse. Elle juxtapose les apports stylistiques du gothique flamboyant (nef et clocher) et de la Renaissance (choeur). Le clocher trapu et austère fait pendant à un choeur d'amples proportions ajouré de hautes baies aux remplages Renaissance ponctuées d'élégants contreforts. L'église conserve également un mobilier intéressant : vitrail de 1572, cloche de 1693, tableau du retable de la Vierge et maître-autel du 18e siècle.

History
This majestic building stands isolated in open countryside, equidistant from the different hamlets making up this commune. The church, highly homogeneous, was entirely rebuilt in the first three-quarters of the 16th century, at the initiative of the Benedictine abbey of Breteuil, which owned the main tithes of the parish. It juxtaposes the stylistic contributions of flamboyant Gothic (nave and bell tower) and the Renaissance (choir). The squat and austere bell tower corresponds with a choir of ample proportions pierced with tall openings with Renaissance tracery punctuated by elegant buttresses. The church also preserves interesting furnishings: stained glass of 1572, bell of 1693, altarpiece painting of the Virgin and high altar of the 18th century.
