The church of Poulangy was the seat of a parish administered by the abbess of Poulangy, with Louvières as its branch. The King of France was lord of the place, and then the nuns of Poulangy bought the seigneury from him in 1583.
The church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité was built in the 13th century. The chapel to the north of the choir was added in the 14th century. At that time, the roofs of the north aisle and the chapel were aligned (raising the wall of the north aisle with its modillions). It was probably also at this time that the triplet in the chevet was transformed into a Gothic bay.
The bell tower, which originally stood on the nave, was rebuilt in its present location in 1739 (date inscribed on the south cornice).
