History

The church was built between 1828 and 1832 in Classicist style. The original church from the end of the 11th century was struck by lightning in 1772 and was destroyed in a flood in 1813, after which it was never rebuilt. Its ancient statue was placed in the new parish church, from where it later disappeared.
