    The original church on this site was Sainte-Marguerite, built around 1416. It was destroyed during the French Revolution in 1794. The current church was built between 1826 and 1829 after several architectural plans and revisions. The church was damaged during both world wars but has since been restored.
    The church is designed in a neoclassical style with a basilica plan. It has a neoclassical facade and a neo-Tuscan bell tower that is 26 meters high. Inside, the nave is divided by six stone columns and lit by 14 windows, while the choir receives light from two beautiful windows and a lantern.
    The interior of the church is decorated with beautiful stucco decorations illustrating the Immaculate Conception, as well as stained glass windows depicting various names of the Virgin Mary. The main altar shows an image of Mary helping Jesus crush the head of the serpent, a symbol of death and sin. There are also two large paintings, probably by a pupil of Titian, depicting the Annunciation and the Nativity.
