From the 10th century onwards, a Romanesque church stood here. This church had fallen into very poor condition, and in 1802 it was renovated to serve as a parish church after the French Revolution. By 1862, only the nave remained, and it was decided to demolish the old church. In 1872, the foundation stone of a new church was laid on top of a dune. It was a Neo-Gothic church building. In 1940, this church was largely destroyed. Consequently, worshippers had to worship in a temporary church, and reconstruction began in 1949. Construction was interrupted by bankruptcy, but resumed in 1955. The church was consecrated in 1958. The church has a tower attached to the front, which also housed a clock in 1988. The stained-glass windows in the choir depict the life of Saint Vincent de Paul. Source: Wikipedia
