The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice reconstruit à partir du milieu du 16e siècle (1535) , et achevé à la fin de ce siècle. Restauré suite aux guerres et aux sièges du 17e siècle. A la Révolution, l'édifice est vidé de son mobilier et endommagé. L'église est rendue au culte et restaurée au début du 19e siècle. Commencés dans les années 1840, les travaux s'achèvent en 1853 par la reconstruction du portail sud, sculpté par Lecompte-Roger. Après les dommages causés par la Première guerre mondiale, l'édifice est restauré en 1931, et augmenté de la sacristie. Une voûte d'ogives recouvre l'ensemble de l'édifice.

Building rebuilt from the mid-16th century (1535), and completed at the end of that century. Restored following the wars and sieges of the 17th century. At the Revolution, the building is stripped of its fittings and damaged. The church is returned to worship and restored in the early 19th century. Begun in the 1840s, the work is completed in 1853 by the reconstruction of the south portal, sculptured by Lecompte-Roger. After the damage caused by the First World War, the building is restored in 1931, and enlarged by the sacristy. A rib vault covers the whole of the building.
