"It is a contemporary monument inaugurated in 1960 by the architect Alexandre Colladant and is distinguished by its concrete bell tower in the shape of a lyre.

The interior receives the light of day by a multitude of small multicolored windows and especially by two huge stained glass windows which represent the Virgin and the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian.

The old church of the village was destroyed during the allied bombing of 1943. After the war, the project of rebuilding it in the same way was abandoned. Only a few statues have survived and are visible in the current church. "

" C'est un monument contemporain inauguré en 1960, œuvre de l'architecte Alexandre Colladant. Elle se distingue de par son clocher en béton en forme de lyre.

L'intérieur reçoit la lumière du jour par une multitude de petits vitraux multicolores et surtout par deux immenses vitraux qui représentent la Vierge et le martyre de Saint Sébastien.

L'ancienne église du village fut détruite lors des bombardements alliés de 1943. Après guerre, le projet de la reconstruire à l'identique fut abandonné. Seules quelques statues ont subsisté et sont visibles dans l'église actuelle. "
