In 1918, Vaire-Sous-Corbie was caught up in the great German offensive. The village is strongly marked and the church completely destroyed. It is the architect Maurice Fabre who is entrusted with the reconstruction of the building while his colleague Gérard Ansart is in charge of interior decoration. This work will result in a church in the art deco style whose sobriety of the facade contrasts significantly with the rich decoration that dresses the nave and transept of the building.
