Folquin, cousin of Charlemagne, bishop of Thérouanne, was the local evangelist. From the first Romanesque edifice (11th century?) only the nave and the tower remain. In the 16th century, the nave is doubled on the north side (1550). This nave is extended, in the middle of the 17th century. In 1889, construction of a sacristy at the south chevet. In 1904, the Oudendyck family had built a funeral chapel of neogothic style, as an excroissance of the north nave.
