Except for the refined Renaissance portal, the church was built in a flamboyant Gothic style. It is dedicated to Saint Willibrordus, apostle of the Low Countries (7th century). The walls of the nave are covered with 17th century wood carvings. Eye-catchers are the confessionals, the organ case, some funerary monuments, including the very expressive medallion portrait of the governor of Gravelines, who died during the siege of Saint-Venant in 1657. the cistern, a water reservoir from the 18th century, is connected to the church by a arcade. The pumps have fittings in the shape of dolphins.
