Composite building resulting from the remodelling of a conventual building: the refectory and dormitory of the Ursulines convent, created in 1626. The envelope of the building was designed by the architect Murisson between 1810 and 1812. Two chapels are added in 1820 and after 1845. Inside, the simple nave is extended by a choir framed by two lateral chapels. These chapels give access to the double sacristy attached to the chevet. The church contains a deposit of works from local religious centres.
