The construction of the church dates from the 13th century. The church was extensively restored after the Hundred Years' War and its orientation was changed in the mid-18th century. The building was restored again in the 19th century. During these restorations, the local priest died in 1818. Since a decree of March 27, 1926, the church has been listed as a historical monument. A porch was demolished in the 1970s.

The church is a synthesis of different architectural types. The oldest part, the bell tower, dates from the end of the 11th – beginning of the 12th century. Towards the end of the 12th – beginning of the 13th century, a nave with two bays, vaulted on ribbed vaults, was added to it. For aesthetic reasons, three buttresses were leveled above the vaults. The remains of this first church are still visible. At the end of the 15th century, after the Hundred Years' War, the increase in population led to the enlargement of the nave, which brought the number of bays to five, and to the creation of the side aisles. This well-proportioned building deserves a thorough visit.
