Chapel of the castle of the counts of Bar at the beginning of the eleventh century, this church was given in 1076 to the Benedictines of Saint-Oyend (Saint-Claude), to whom Henri le Libéral, count of Champagne, substituted canons in 1160\. Too small for the collegial celebration of the offices, it was almost entirely rebuilt in the last twenty years of the 12th century. The nave with three aisles and the transept date from this campaign of works.
The central nave of the choir is closed laterally by blind walls that separate it from the aisles: this is the primitive chapel. At the end of the 13th century or at the beginning of the 14th, an apse was added to the central nave, as well as absidioles on the aisles. The bell tower corresponds to the former keep of the castle, redesigned in the 15th century. The facade, due to Canon Méchin, is inspired by the monumental door of the cloister of Clairvaux (1740).
The church of Saint-Maclou has been closed to the public since 1954\. Since 2017,
