Construction of this church began in 1220 during a period of change in Normandy. The building came into existence at a time when the region was being reshaped by new political powers.

Inside the church is a pipe organ built in 1674 by Robert Ingout that originally had around 2000 pipes. This organ is a rare example of a preserved instrument from the 1600s with many original parts still in place.
