Located in Vendresse, the church dates back to the 12th century and has been transformed throughout its history. The church is made of white Chéhéry stones. The oldest part, from the 12th century, is the choir and the base of the lantern tower. The western portal, rather simple, dates from the first Gothic Age. The nave spans are capped. The sides are vaulted on ribbed ribs.
