The church Saint-Laurent, built in the eleventh century (nave, south transept cross, apse and apse), was redesigned in the twelfth century (tower and south facade).

In the 19th century, the nave received four bays of brick vaults (like all the rest of the church.

This nave leads to a transept whose North cross is located under the bell tower and whose southern cross is accompanied by a semicircular absidiole embedded in a wall whose facing marries only the southern quadrant and joins the apse perpendicularly.

To the north, the square steeple with two levels of semicircular windows, is topped by an octagonal stone spire (1720) with four corner bells (XVth).

L'église Saint-Laurent, bâtie au XIème siècle (nef, croisillon sud du transept, absidiole et abside), a été remanié au XIIème siècle (clocher et façade Sud).

Au XIXème siècle, la nef a reçu quatre travées de voutes de briques (comme tout le reste de l'église.

Cette nef aboutit à un transept dont le croisillon Nord se trouve sous le clocher et dont le croisillon Sud est accompagné d'une absidiole semi-circulaire encastrée dans un mur dont le parement n'épouse que le quart de cercle Sud et rejoint l'abside perpendiculairement.

Au Nord, le clocher carré à deux niveaux de baies en plein cintre, est coiffé d'une flèche octogonale en pierre (1720) avec quatre clochetons d'angle (XVème).
