The single-nave church is oriented from west to north. It has a four-bay nave , a transept with a crossing tower and a choir with a straight end. A chapel was added to the north-east of the choir in the 16th century. The bell tower was renewed in the 14th century. It has high, domed arched windows on all sides and buttresses at its corners . The windows have archivolts resting on pillars with capitals . Above the simple portal with archivolts that end in the masonry, there is a high arched window, which is surrounded by a flattened band. The Romanesque capitals inside the church are remarkable.

The church has an altarpiece from the 18th century and a painting by Charles Alphonse Dufresnoy (1611–1668) depicting the Adoration of the Shepherds.
