Begun in 1594, the church was enlarged by the addition of a lower side in 1678. It incorporated the former church, dedicated to Saint Trophyme, mentioned in 1079 in a bull of Gregory VII.

The nave contains this original sanctuary. It has a barrel vault resting on a small cornice, with double arches resting on slender columns adorned with capitals that reinforce the vault.

Shallow chapels have been built into the side walls, topped by a semicircular arch.

The small vessel ends in a five-sided apse covered by a ribbed vault whose ribs meet at the top.

The Beaux-Arts department has classified the altarpieces of the high altar, the altar of Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel and the altar of Saint-Joseph, as well as a 16th-century holy-water stoup and the bas-relief of a 17th-century door. Also of note is a carved wooden Christ.
