La première église a été construite au début du XVIème siècle. De cet édifice, ne subsistent que les murs de la nef et le bas-côté nord.
La deuxième étape a lieu au XVIIème siècle, avec la construction d'une chapelle et l'agrandissement du choeur.
Le clocher et le bas-côté sud sont bâtis en 1837.
En 1972, pour faire face à l'augmentation de la population, le choeur et le transept sont remplacés par une halle en béton armé et charpente de bois apparente.
2 Haÿssiens, l'architecte Jacques Bahon et le maître-verrier Guevel osèrent l'association de l'art ancien et de l'art moderne.
--------------------------------
The first church was built at the beginning of the XVIth century. Of this building, remain only the walls of the nave and the north shoulder.
The second stage takes place in the XVIIth century, with the construction of a chapel and the enlargement of the chancel.
The bell tower and the south shoulder are built in 1837.
In 1972, to face the increase of the population, the chancel and the transept are replaced by a hall in reinforced concrete and wooden skeleton.
2 Haÿssiens, the architect Jacques Bahon and master-glassworker Guevel dared the association of the ancient art and the modern art.
