"It suffered from depredation perpetrated by the Huguenots in 1562. the upper part of the bell tower disappeared at this time. It benefited from the largesse of the Montmorency and Caban families. It has the shape of a Latin cross and has only a vessel and a transept.

The nave is from the 15th or 16th century. It has three spans. The arms of the transept contain chapels: On the left, the chapel of Saint-Nicolas, on the right, the chapel of the Virgin. The old choir was rebuilt in brick in the middle of the 19th century (1851). It was then enlarged by two meters in width and five meters in length."
