Before the First World War, a two-aisled late Gothic hall church stood here. This, like the village, was destroyed.

The current church was built in 1925 to a design by the architects Henri and Marcel Leborgne.

The church is different from the pastor. It is a brick oriented basilica church in mainly neo-Gothic style. The church has a pre-built west tower, flanked by a hexagonal stair turret. The tower has four corner turrets on the tower aisle and is topped by a needle spire. The interior is covered by rib vaults.
The church furniture is neo-Gothic.
