" Basilical church with chancel oriented The portal is preceded by a porch surmounted by a square bell tower of chalk with slate essentage in its upper part and covered with a small roof covered with slates.

The gate bears the date 1765. The nave is a construction of chalk and brick on a base of flint. She was coated. Brick buttresses counter the thrust of the rib vault. The roof is two sloping hillsides.

The flat chevet choir, which rises higher than the nave, is built of chalk on a basement of flint, chanted with buttresses in chalk. The eastern gable crawlers are lined with brick knives.

The choir is covered with a pitched slate roof. Throughout the building, the arched bays feature gothic stone fillings. "
