The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise composée d'une partie médiévale comprenant le choeur, la sacristie et deux chapelles. Le choeur polygonal remonterait à la construction de l'église, à la fin du 15e siècle. L'édifice subit des transformations fin 15e début 16e siècle (adjonction de la sacristie, chapelle Sainte-Adélaïde, chapelle funéraire des Fleckenstein). Avant les travaux de 1898-1900, le clocher était placé dans l'angle nord-ouest du pignon ouest. L'église fut agrandie d'une travée et un nouveau clocher porche construit au centre du mur pignon ouest. Il fut détruit lors des bombardements de 1940. La reconstruction se fit entre 1954 et 1958, sur les plans de l'architecte Jean Viallefond. La nef et le campanile séparé furent construits en béton armé et le pignon ouest décoré d'une grande composition en relief représentant la Transfiguration, réalisée en béton par Lambert-Rucki.

History
Church composed of a medieval part comprising the choir, the sacristy and two chapels. The polygonal choir would date back to the construction of the church, at the end of the 15th century. The building underwent transformations at the late 15th to early 16th century (addition of the sacristy, chapel of Sainte-Adélaïde, funerary chapel of the Fleckenstein). Before the works of 1898-1900, the bell tower was placed in the north-west angle of the west gable. The church was enlarged by one bay and a new porch tower constructed in the centre of the west gable wall. It was destroyed during the bombardments of 1940. Reconstruction took place between 1954 and 1958, to the plans of architect Jean Viallefond. The nave and the separate campanile were constructed in reinforced concrete and the west gable decorated with a large relief composition representing the Transfiguration, executed in concrete by Lambert-Rucki.
