It was designed by the architect Maurice Quentin and is built in the Neo-Romanesque style with a traditional basilica plan. The facade of the church has features of Romanesque art, such as sober and narrow windows, buttresses, a circular portico with a typed sculpture representing the Virgin surrounded by angels, arched folds resting on a column on each side, and a rose window above the portico. The church has a massive and projecting bell tower which is reminiscent of Romanesque bell towers by its structure and sober decoration. The interior of the church is decorated with a mural by Gustave Riquet representing the Assumption of the Virgin. The church was restored in 2016-2017.
