"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."

La nef est du XVe ou XVIe siècle. Elle comporte trois travées. Les bras du transept contiennent des chapelles : A gauche, la chapelle Saint-Nicolas, à droite, la chapelle de la Vierge. L'ancien chœur a été reconstruit en briques au milieu du XIXe siècle (1851). Il a alors été agrandi de deux mètres en largeur et de cinq mètres en longueur."
