Set on a rocky spur dominating the Senne, this church built in locally dressed stone, gives a beautiful and harmonious impression despite several alterations made over the centuries. Part of the building is Romanesque, but most of the church was constructed during the 16th and 17th centuries, making its appearance essentially Gothic. The tower is completed by a pyramidal spire.
At the entrance stands a recent sculpture (1999) by Claire Fitzpatrick entitled "Le loupiot" (The kid) showing a half man, half animal with a long snout.
The 2004-2006 restoration made the interior very fresh and luminous, which accentuates its noble and austere setting. Noteworthy is an ancient tombstone of G de Ghavre (1447) and B du Bos (1464).
