"Church with a single nave, built in chalky stone, with foundations in red clay bricks. Slate roof. Neo-Gothic pointed windows, alternating with buttresses. Porch tower surmounted by a low spire. Semi apse. -circular."
The church has the particularity of having a bell in its steeple, cast in 1880 and a bell hung on a metal belfry, cast in 1959 (bequeathed to the town on will, by Jeanne de La Cressionnère), too heavy and too imposing to be climbed into the steeple.

" Église à vaisseau unique, construit en pierre crayeuse, avec fondations en briques d'argile rouge. Couverture en ardoises. Fenêtres néo-gothiques en ogive, alternées avec des contreforts. Tour-porche surmontée d'une flèche de faible hauteur. Chevet semi-circulaire."
L'église possède la particularité de posséder une cloche dans son clocher, fondue en 1880 et une cloche accrochée sur un beffroi métallique, fondue en 1959 (léguée à la commune sur testament, par Jeanne de La Cressionnère), trop lourde et trop imposante pour être montée dans le clocher.
