The church was built at the end of the 15th century with a porch and a wayside cross. This last is in the churchyard adjoining the church Saint Hubert. The porch allowed the sick and the leprous to attend the service, hence its name "the leprous porch". The relics of the wayside cross are classified as a historical monument.
