The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église offre la particularité, parmi les églises du Marlois, de juxtaposer un clocher en brique, qui rappelle les clochers fortifiés de Thiérache édifiés au milieu du 16e siècle, à de très importants et remarquables éléments des 12e-13e siècles (nef et choeur). La qualité de la facture et de la modénature des structures médiévales (bandeau décoré de pointes de diamants, portail sud à linteau en bâtière et voussure ornée à un rang de bâtons brisés) , est renforcée par l'intérêt de la charpente de la nef, qui conserve de notables éléments de sa structure primitive. Le vestibule est orné de curieuses inscriptions commémorant certains épisodes de guerres de Religion.

The church offers the particularity, among the churches of the Marlois, of juxtaposing a brick bell tower, which recalls the fortified bell towers of Thiérache built in the middle of the 16th century, with very important and remarkable elements of the 12th-13th centuries (nave and choir). The quality of the craftsmanship and the mouldings of the medieval structures (band decorated with diamond points, south portal with sloping lintel and voussure ornamented with one rank of broken baguettes), is reinforced by the interest of the roof structure of the nave, which preserves notable elements of its original structure. The vestibule is decorated with curious inscriptions commemorating certain episodes of the Wars of Religion.
