Description
The church, built in bricks, has a rectangular nave which ends with a chorus with tripartite apse. Three chapels open onto the nave. The sacristy is located outside, leaning against the span of the choir. The nave, the choir and the chapels are all vaulted. The bell tower, dating from 1557, has three floors and has five windows. A small tower houses the staircase leading to the bell tower. A slot in the shape of slots is at the top of the walls, just below the roof. Built at the beginning of the 16th century, the church was attached to a commandery of the Order of Saint-Jean.
