The erection of today´s church started on the hill, where once stood the castle, at the beginning of the 16th century. The construction was interrupted by the Wars of Religion and did not resume until the beginning of the 17th century. Well, the nave was never built, so today there is the choir and the transept. Due to the long time the construction took, the style is late Gothic plus some Renaissance. These names were carved in outside the portal by members of the 62nd Engenieer Battalion during the Great War. www.vetshome.com/62nd/Combat Engr.htm
