The building is kind of Hainaut sixteenth century. It has undergone several revisions, especially at the nave with its warheads unequal size, the construction of a tower in 1849 and rebuilding the ceiling of the choir in the nineteenth century.

A Calvary was erected in the late nineteenth century to contain the remains of the Marquis de Trazegnies last, and this, because we could not bury it inside the church (second half of the eighteenth century ). In this ordeal, are buried a few family members of Trazegnies: Marie-Caroline de Namur, Marquise de Trazegnies, (1785-1844). She had previously been buried outside the church, near the wall that separated her from her husband Joseph Lothario. This was the last to be buried inside the church. The remains of his wife were later interred in the Calvary.
