[EN] The first church is mentioned as a possession of Pontlevoy Abbey in 1144. Following a fire, work began on the church in the 1890s. This considerably altered the building, even though the original layout was retained. The nave was extended westwards by two bays, on which the bell tower is supported on stilts. The church contains a wealth of 17th and 19th century furnishings, including a high altarpiece executed in 1660 by Blésois artist Gaspart Imbert, featuring a representation of the Holy Women at the Tomb, a polychromed wooden statue of Christ on the Cross, a red marble stoup adorned with draperies, a polychromed and gilded wooden tabernacle, and more.
