The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Bâtie au 12e siècle, elle n'a gardé de cette époque que le noyau central servant de support à la tour, formé par les murs du transept et les piliers qui reçoivent l'arc triomphal. L'église a été entièrement reconstruite au 14e siècle, de cette époque datent la nef et le choeur. Cette nef et les bas-côtés étaient primitivement recouverts d'une charpente apparente à laquelle furent substitués au 19e siècle des voûtes d'ogives de plâtre. Pratiquement entièrement détruite lors des bombardements de la Première Guerre mondiale, l'église a subi d'importantes restaurations à l'identique. Elle possède de beaux vitraux modernes de Jacques Simon.

Built in the 12th century, it has retained from that period only the central core serving as support for the tower, formed by the transept walls and the pillars which receive the triumphal arch. The church was entirely rebuilt in the 14th century, from that period date the nave and the choir. This nave and the aisles were originally covered with an exposed roof structure to which were substituted in the 19th century plaster rib vaults. Practically entirely destroyed during the bombardments of the First World War, the church underwent major restoration work in identical form. It possesses fine modern stained glass by Jacques Simon.
