It was built between 1848 and 1851.
Situated on a promontory overlooking the main town, the church was designed by the architect Mélano.
The large building is built on a basilica plan, with three naves on three levels under three separate roofs. The second level features a semi-circular window.
The central doorway is framed by pilasters supporting a full entablature.
The bell tower is not bulbous, but of the Franc-Comtois type.
The interior is admirable for the quality of its murals and trompe l'oeil. Remarkable double curved columns separate the main nave from the side aisles. A magnificent Christ on the Cross from the early 19th century precedes the choir.
