History
A parish church dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Silly. Over the course of the 13th century, Béatrice d'Aubry, Alix de Montagu, Grégoire de Ville-Dieu, and Robert and Renaud Chasseboeuf, gave their shares of the patronage rights and tithes of the church to Silly.
The church building stood close to the Château d'Aubry, just to the north-east. It was demolished in 1872.
