Built in the 12th century, it is made of flint and cut stone. It originally had small narrow windows, slightly projecting buttresses, and a rounded apse.
After the Hundred Years' War the need was felt to open two contiguous chapels on the epistle side. One of them is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, it was the seigniorial chapel. In the 17th century the separation of the two chapels was removed. As an extension, the sacristy was built in the 18th century.

On the southern part of the building we can notice the location of a small blocked door. According to tradition, it was “the door of the dead” giving access to the cemetery which adjoined the church until 1879.

On the west side, two white bands called “liters” indicate that 2 personalities are buried inside the church.
Between the chapel and the choir there is a statue of Saint Maur in polychrome wood. The Saint is invoked against rheumatism, sciatica, gout.
