The bell tower originally belonged to the church of Saint-Barthélemy, which was mentioned as early as 1080. The current bell tower was built at the beginning of the 17th century by Claude Bourgeois, but was only completed at the beginning of the 18th century by Nicolas and Jean-Baptiste Doucet.
The tower served as a geodetic point in 1755 for the triangulation work Cassini needed to create a map of France.
