The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La paroisse apparaît dans les archives à la fin du 11e siècle. En 1546, l'ancien choeur est démoli. Les travaux sont achevés vers 1549. D'autres documents laissent penser que la reconstruction du choeur serait plus tardive. En 1595, la reconstruction est toujours nécessaire et effective en 1596. Des travaux sont menés au cours du 19e siècle. Des vitraux sont posés en 1869 par Courmont. Les deux guerres mondiales causent des dommages à l'édifice. L'église se compose d'une tour quadrangulaire de façade, d'une nef et d'un chevet polygonal à sept pans. Soutenue de contreforts plats sur trois faces, la tour est flanquée de deux bâtiments en appentis et surmontée d'une flèche octogonale en ardoise. A l'intérieur, des baies présentent des décorations flamboyantes. Voûtes d'ogives à liernes et tiercerons dont la bichromie est créée par le contraste des nervures en pierre et des voûtains en brique.

The parish appears in the archives at the end of the 11th century. In 1546, the old choir was demolished. The work was completed around 1549. Other documents suggest that the reconstruction of the choir would be later. In 1595, reconstruction was still necessary and was carried out in 1596. Work was undertaken during the 19th century. Stained glass windows were installed in 1869 by Courmont. The two world wars caused damage to the building. The church comprises a quadrangular tower on the façade, a nave and a polygonal chevet with seven sides. Supported by flat buttresses on three sides, the tower is flanked by two lean-to buildings and topped by an octagonal slate spire. Inside, bays display flamboyant decorations. Rib vaults with liernes and tiercerons whose polychromy is created by the contrast between the stone ribs and the brick vault cells.
