The original nave collapsed in the 18th century and was completely rebuilt in the 19th century. The nave opens onto six chapels decorated with altarpieces and statues.
The church is known for the quality of its white marble lintel, which is decorated with a rose window and symbolically represents the evangelists: the lion of Saint Mark and the man of Saint Matthew.

In 1871 a fire completely destroyed the church. Four years later the new church could be put into use.
The organ from 1877 comes from the chapel of the Brothers of Christian Education in St-Omer.
On May 15, 1918, a bomb fell on the cemetery causing significant damage to the tower, windows and organ.
