    It was Saint Thuribe in the 5th century who dedicated the oratory that preceded the current church to Saint Pierr.

    Tradition reports that Saint Thuribe, Bishop of Le Mans, ordained on September 30, 490, came to preach Christianity in the region of Saint-Calais where he dedicated other oratories to Saint Peter.

    In Berofacium (Berfay), he would have "gone down" to a certain Gaïanus, holder of property or exercising military command.

    The roussard stone buttresses and the walled semi-circular bay bear witness to 11th or 12th century architecture.

    The Saint Pierre church was originally supposed to consist of a simple nave extended by a straight apse.

    Like many churches in the surrounding area, it was redeveloped in the 16th century (addition of the north side aisle) and restored around 1876, with the addition of the south side aisle. The work was carried out thanks to a bequest from Mrs. Mercent to the factory, an organization responsible at the time for managing the church's property.

    The exterior walls were re-coated in 1924.
