The church built in the Middle Ages was destroyed during the siege of Beauvais in 1472. The present building was built at the end of the 15th and 16th century. The bell tower was built in the 18th century.
The building has a longitudinal plan and is oriented. It consists of a nave of five bays ending with a three-sided apse. A sacristy is built as an extension of the choir.
Site occupied since Gallo-Roman times. This edifice was built between the 11th and 13th centuries.
Chapel built in 1861.
Construction of Beauvais Cathedral began in 1225 and the choir was completed in 1272. A second phase of construction, however, lasted from 1499 to 1532, and saw the elevation of the transept. Although its nave collapsed several times due to its dizzying height, and was never really completed, Beauvais Cathedral has the highest nave in the world.
