The church was built in the 11th and 12th centuries on the site of a Roman villa. Its high bell-tower wall and remarkably proportioned nave bear witness to the Romanesque period. At the end of the 15th century, two chapels were added to form a trancept and a choir with a flat chevet. In the 17th and 18th centuries, three altarpieces - stone and terracotta - were added in a very homogenous style, indicating a unity of design and execution.
Well-preserved but without enamel, the coats of arms of the lords and ladies who belonged to the influential families in Thoigné at the end of the 15th century appear on the triumphal arch.
At the end of the 19th century, the choir was enriched with two stained glass windows in grisaille by Fialex, commissioned by the Marquis Perrochel de Grandchamp, whose coat of arms appears at the top of the window.
The building contains a terracotta painting of Saint Marguerite and a 15th-century mural.
