The first building was built in the 13th century, but only the bell tower foundations were preserved. In the 16th century, when the Buissière stronghold was acquired by the Courteville family, a new church was built; The choir was built between 1540 and 1550 and represents the flamboyant art of the Artois region. The stone arrow, which dates from the 18th century, was restored identically in 1991. During the 19th century, renovation works were carried out and the stained glass windows were replaced, those of the 16th century having been destroyed during the Revolution. The parish church is oriented towards the north-north-east and presents a Latin cross plan, with a nave, two collaterals of the Halle Kerque type, four longitudinal spans and quadripartite vaults.
