History
Church rebuilt in 1859-1862 by architect Paul Lemesle, on a plan with a single nave and transept. A dozen years or so later, the church is entirely painted with an iconographic programme including a giant Way of the Cross, painted in the style of the 13th century by Renouard. The stained-glass windows come from the Fialeix and Lobin workshops.
