En 1834, sa restauration est entreprise par l'architecte Alphonse Delacroix, établissant la sacristie au fond du choeur et développant un plafond à caissons peint sur la nef et le choeur.

Church attested in 1341 as a chapel depending on the lord of Montferrand. Its flat chevet, with twin openings with pointed arches, may be earlier. In 1725, the building is completed by a porch tower. In 1834, its restoration is undertaken by architect Alphonse Delacroix, establishing the sacristy at the end of the choir and developing a coffered ceiling painted over the nave and choir.
