Its foundation is attested as early as the 6th century. The church was demolished and rebuilt several times; the current Jesuit-style building dates from the early 18th century. During the Revolution, after the church was deconsecrated, all of its interior furnishings were sold at auction. Then, the church itself met the same fate.
