Après la destruction de la ville par Charles le Téméraire en 1472 une nouvelle église fut construite de style Renaissance où quelques traces de gothique flamboyant sont encore visibles. Sa construction s’étendra de 1508 à 1608 interrompue par les guerres de religion !

L’édifice en forme de croix latine possède de belles proportions 51.80 m de longueur et un chœur haut de 25 mètres. Il faut prendre le temps d’admirer ses onze remarquables clés de voûtes pendantes dont la plus grande mesure 1.45 m !

L’orgue, un des plus anciens de la région serait antérieur à 1550. Des vitraux du XVIe apportent une belle lumière. La chapelle du St Sépulcre présente de belles fresques représentant notamment le Jugement Dernier.
