The construction of the church began on June 7, 1488. By August 31, it was clear that funding would be a problem, so construction halted for a time. On April 4, 1520, Jean Crétel of Tours-en-Vimeu was put in charge of the work. The nave was under construction until 1539

Former Picardy Gothic collegiate church from 1488. Due to heavy German artillery fire during World War II, it collapsed except for the towers and the beginning of the nave. It has only been partially restored. The parts that survived the war are still very impressive.

This wonderful church was destroyed by German bombers on May 20, 1940. Since the French Revolution, it has belonged to the state, which has renovated it and opened a visitor reception.
