Outside, a tombstone pays tribute to Jean Verger (wheelwright who, on Boxing Day 1774, saved the country from a rabid wolf that had already bitten some 30 people. His fingers were chopped off by the wolf's bite, and he died of rabies on January 27, 1775).

Some parts of the church date from the 13th century, others from the 15th century, and most of it was built in the 18th century.

The church's multicolored marble high altar belonged to the Collégiale St-Etienne de Troyes, which was abolished during the French Revolution. Not far from the confessional, a 16th-century statue depicts Bishop St-Loup de Troyes, and a bas-relief depicts the "dormition of Mary".

Open by appointment by calling 03 25 40 45 07.
