The most striking thing about this Gothic church are undoubtedly the layers of white sandstone and iron sandstone.

It is the result of several construction phases. The west tower, with its square base, and the stair turret date from the 16th century. In 1666 it was restored and raised. The ship was also built during the 17th century, on the basis of a 15th century core. The northern transept arm is still 15th century. The southern one was modified during the 16th century. The choir was begun in 1439, and was modified at the end of the 16th century. The northern sacristy is also a 16th century fruit. The southern sacristy was added later, around 1900.
In 1914 the church was damaged, but it was restored to its original state.
