In 1878, the mayor of Bouvines decided to rebuild the parish church, considered too dilapidated and too small. Construction began in 1880 and was completed in 1886; the stained-glass windows were only made from 1889; the church was consecrated in 1910\. The architect Auguste Normant was inspired by medieval architecture and designed it as a holy chapel, containing no relics, but serving as a showcase for stained glass windows. The church, composed of a nave without side aisles separated from the chancel by a transept, is entirely covered with vaults on crossed ogives. The stained-glass windows were made by Charles and Emmanuel Champigneulle, after cartoons by Pierre Fritel: they illustrate the battle of Bouvines, where Philippe-Auguste was victorious of the coalition.
