Description

The parish church, formerly attached to the diocese of Reims, dates back to an earlier building destroyed by the Normans, then rebuilt between 882 and 900 by Archbishop Foulques. The oldest parts today, notably the bell tower-porch and the central nave, date from the XIIᵉ century, with the first two levels of the bell tower built at the beginning of the century, while the third level and the nave date from the second half. The nave vaults, however, appear to have been added in the XIIIᵉ century.
Between 1859 and 1860, the church underwent major works under the direction of the architect Claude-Modeste de Bigault de Granrut: reconstruction of the aisles, transept and choir, and addition of the sacristy. In 1887, a new belfry was installed, followed by renovation of the steeple's roof structure and roof between 1889 and 1893. In 2021, the floor was redone.
The church, elevated and surrounded by a chalk and millstone wall, comprises a four-storey bell tower-porch, a nave with three bays and three aisles, a transept, a choir with a five-sided apse, and several chapels, including the font and side chapels. The whole building is rib-vaulted, built of ashlar (chalk and Savonnières stone), with slate roofs, except for the sacristy, which is covered in zinc.
