In the 11th century, a chapel was built by the prior of Bézu-le-Long, dependent on the abbey of Croix Saint-Leufroy, consisting of a nave of 5 bays lit by narrow lancets. A stone choir was added in the 12th century.
Around 1335, the chapel became a parish church.
Around 1780, it was enlarged by two bays and its direction was reversed. The entrance is now through the choir, itself installed in the western part. Large bays were opened at this time.
The new choir is adorned with an altarpiece executed in 1760 by Jacques Carbonnier (from Gisors).
The painting of the baptism of Christ is by Charles Jean Baptiste Duchêne, painter in Gisors
