L'édifice actuel fut achevé en 1486. Détruit pendant les troubles religieux, il subit des travaux au 15e siècle (démolition des pilastres ronds de la muraille sud ; croisées d'ogives ; construction de deux travées semblables à celles existantes. L'édifice fut à nouveau transformé en 1665. En 1703, l'église fut incendiée sans subir de dommages sur son gros oeuvre. Délabrée sous la Révolution, la municipalité la fait restaurer en 1816."
