This church belongs to the series of churches with powerfully fortified bell towers in the frontier region in the 15th century, between Champagne, Ile-de-France and Burgundy. This typology reflects the conflicts of the Hundred Years' War. In 1675, Lambert de Thorigny had a large porch constructed on the west façade.
