Historique
Citée dès 1177 dans les archives, l'église a probablement été reconstruite au 15e siècle et considérablement transformée au 19e siècle. Elle se compose d'un clocher-porche hors oeuvre, précédé d'un avant-porche construit au 19e siècle et d'une nef plafonnée qui s'ouvre par un arc triomphal en plein cintre sur un choeur à chevet plat. L'église est couverte d'un toit en lave ; à l'intérieur, se trouve une série de dalles funéraires de maîtres verriers de la verrerie du Plain qui cessa son activité en 1710.

History
Mentioned as early as 1177 in the archives, the church was probably rebuilt in the 15th century and considerably transformed in the 19th century. It consists of a porch tower standing free of the building, preceded by an entrance porch built in the 19th century and a ceilinged nave which opens by a round arch triumphal arch onto a choir with a flat chevet. The church is covered with a lavestone roof; inside, there is a series of grave slabs of master glass-makers from the glassworks of Plain which ceased its activity in 1710.
