Nicasius

There was a priory here, dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Selincourt, from the mid-12th century. In the later Middle Ages, the area was under English rule as part of the Pale of Calais, and the parish priests of Saint-Tricat were Englishmen. Following the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis, the territory became part of the kingdom of France.

The current church's tower is a survival from the 12th/13th century. Much of the rest of the building underwent major reconstruction in the later 16th century following war damage. It underwent major renovations in the 1870s.
