"The ministry of culture specifies that in 1863 the abbot Auguste Cazin has the idea to build the church Saint-Michel on a ground bought by him.The first stone is thus posed in August 1867, the church corresponds to the shots of architect Bouloch practicing in Boulogne.

The blessing of the building will take place on September 29, 1868 and will be followed a few years later by the consecration (August 17, 1876). On Holy Thursday in 1892, a fire will destroy the furniture, damage the church, the architect hesdinois Clovis Normand will then lead the restoration work.

A second blessing of the building will take place October 16, 1892. The bell tower, more contemporary is built in 1955. The plans are the architect Boulonnais Dujardin.

"La ministère de la culture précise qu'en 1863 l'abbé Auguste Cazin a l'idée de construire l'église Saint-Michel sur un terrain acheté par lui. La première pierre est donc posée en août 1867, l'église correspond aux plans de l'architecte Bouloch exerçant a Boulogne.

La bénédiction de l'édifice aura lieu le 29 septembre 1868 et sera suivi quelques années plus tard de la consécration (17 août 1876). Le Jeudi Saint de 1892, un incendie détruira le mobilier, endommagera l'église, l'architecte hesdinois Clovis Normand dirigera alors les travaux de restauration.

Une seconde bénédiction de l'édifice aura lieu le 16 octobre 1892. Le clocher, plus contemporain est construit en 1955. Les plans sont de l'architecte boulonnais Dujardin."
