Some parts of the nave are Romanesque. The bell tower, built in the 16th century, has pointed openings in the upper part. The spire, decorated with four bells, is made of limestone.
Excavations carried out between 1999 and 2001 have revealed: - burials, some of which date from the bronze or iron age but most from the modern era. - part of the building was Romanesque or pre-Romanesque (I.S.M.H. 1927). - a litre hidden under the plaster of the south and west walls, with the coat of arms of the Croismare family, owner of the castle from 1628 to 1768. - the most beautiful discovery was that of the statue of St Pierre. Found in earth, outside the church near the south wall of the nave. - second Italian empire mosaic (terrazo alla vennezianna). The ancient cobblestones visible under the platform - under the grey plasters and cements of the walls of the nave appear: large stones on the south wall, a north wall entirely built according to the method of the OPUS SPICATUM (fishsticks), a construction technique used since the Romanesque period until the end of the 11th century, both in the churches of the region, at Anisy or Cambes en Plaine, as well as in the large cathedrals as at Durham in the north of England. This wall is composed of slabs of limestone and more rarely of flint, was the subject of many modifications with the arrangement of openings that were enlarged or obstructed. This wall formed a quadrilateral of about 12m by 6 that was lengthened in the twelfth century by 3m at the back of the church. (see the difference in color related to a different proportion of clay). The outer buttress at the junction of the two buildings would be typical of the 11th century.
