The original church dates from 1286 and had a bell tower and an adjoining chapel called the Chapelle du Sépulcre.
The current church was built in 1686 and contains four altars:
The main altar is dedicated to Saint-Étienne.
The Rosary altar dates from 1861.
The altar of Saint-Joseph is linked to the Holy Sepulchre.
The altar of Sainte-Catherine.
The masterpiece on the main altar, depicting the martyrdom of Saint-Étienne, was painted by Laurent Ritz.
