The construction could date back to the beginning of the 12th century. The nave ends with a chancel with a four-sided apse. A bell tower outside the work is located against the west wall. A seigneurial chapel was built to the north of the chancel. The study of the framework has made it possible to determine several construction phases: 1117-1190, 1274, 1487-1520. The interior walls retain a painted historiated decoration on the back of the west portal, probably representing a dance of death, which could date back to the 1500s. The large funeral chapel built between 1577 and 1585 probably goes back to the architect Métezeau. Its decoration is representative of the end of Mannerism and the Henri IV style. The stained glass windows were restored by the master glassmaker Raphaël Lardeur and were installed in 1947. Lardeur also created the mosaic Stations of the Cross.

Oriented east, the building follows a rectangular plan, extended by a choir. With a length of 35 meters, the building is constructed of masonry and consolidated by sandstone buttresses. The pointed vault is 13 meters high, the adjoining bell tower is around twenty meters high. The construction of the church would have been the initiative of Don Roger, abbot of the very powerful Benedictine abbey of Coulombs from 1115 to 1174. At this period, the abbey stood near Nogent-le-Roi, former fortified town located twelve kilometers on the banks of the Eure. Extended over more than 80 parishes, it had a considerable influence in the region, until the Revolution, whether from a religious, economic or social point of view. The Romanesque style that it had adopted since its original construction was remodeled in the 16th century. by the opening of high Gothic windows, around the edge of the choir. Finally, in the following century, during the wars of religion, the church suffered serious damage. When peace returned, the entrance porch was finally rebuilt in the elegant manner of the Renaissance style. In 1950, a fire destroyed the church and all its furniture; it was restored at the end of the 20th century.
