The church was built during three different periods. The 12th-13th century chancel remains from its origins, with its curious geminate chevet window, unique in the region (where triplets are more common) and the bases of the anthropomorphic ogival spandrels. The nave was in danger of collapsing at the beginning of the 18th century and was rebuilt at a time when major works were being carried out on the church between 1739 and 1740. In 1889, the bell tower at the entrance to the church was "cracked and leaning", threatening to collapse on the house opposite the door. It was demolished in 1890-1892 and rebuilt in 1896 in its current state (thanks to subsidies and voluntary subscriptions from local residents for more than 6,000 francs) by the contractor Gérouville de Villegusien, who also made the lancet windows in the nave to replace the only round-headed window still visible to the south.
