In 1705, the creation of a parish is authorized. In 1785, this building was declared unhealthy and forbidden. In 1818 the new building consists of a nave of Romanesque style, surmounted by a framework that survived until the 1950s.

In 1863, the church was enriched by a choir and two side chapels and houses three marble altars of ogival style. In 1877 the bare walls were paneled thanks to the donations of the parishioners.

It was in the late 1950s that the church was almost completely rebuilt. A new bell tower is built. In 1984, important works were implemented by the municipality: reconstruction of the roof and supplemented by a new bell tower reminiscent of that of the 1930s.
