The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice entièrement en brique à l'exception du soubassement de grès. Le donjon, étayé de quatre puissants contreforts et accoste sur ses angles nord/est et sud/est de tourelles engagées dans les contreforts et les murs de la nef, comportait à l'origine 3 étages. La nef est éclairée par six baies (trois sur chaque côté) et est terminée par un chevet plat aveugle construit au 19e siècle. L'existence du village est attestée dès le 7e siècle. L'église commencée dans la deuxième partie du 16e siècle fut réparée et modifiée à plusieurs reprises du fait des destructions guerrières. Trois dates sont inscrites en briques vernissées, dont deux restent lisibles : 1687 (façade sud de la nef) , 168. (sur la façade nord). Cette église est représentative de l'histoire tourmentée du village.

History
Building entirely of brick with the exception of the sandstone base. The keep, braced by four powerful buttresses and flanked at its north-east and south-east angles by towers engaged in the buttresses and the walls of the nave, originally comprised 3 storeys. The nave is lit by six openings (three on each side) and is terminated by a flat blind chevet constructed in the 19th century. The existence of the village is attested from the 7th century. The church begun in the second half of the 16th century was repaired and modified several times owing to war damage. Three dates are inscribed in glazed brick, of which two remain legible: 1687 (south facade of the nave), 168. (on the north facade). This church is representative of the turbulent history of the village.
