    The construction of the church was undertaken around 1520 on a dune, land taken from the sea, at the initiative of the city's shipowners. The sacred perimeter contains the church, 2 ossuary chapels, one Gothic, the other Henry II style, as well as a funerary monument. The church is in flamboyant Gothic style.

    The Renaissance bell tower dates from 1575-1576, it is made up of pinnacles chiseled in the granite. The facades of the church are punctuated with stone caravels and 18 figured crossettes, men and beasts.
    The first ossuary was built in the 16th century to cope with the shortage of space in the cemetery surrounding the church. The second ossuary dates from the 17th century.

      The Gothic church boasts a beautiful bell tower in Renaissance style. She was financed by local merchants and ship owners. Hence the decoration of the outer walls and the tower with ex-votos in the shape of the carved caravels.
