A first church was built in 1886, then another in 1911, the first was too small, and in 1946 it was decided to rebuild everything that had been demolished in 1944. Materials are scarce and the work is slow. The rebuilt church was consecrated on 7 June 1954. Just like in 1911, the church proves to be too small. Therefore, an extension was built as an extension of the right transept, between 1 March 1957 and 1 June 1958. The building has a Latin cross plan, faces north and is flanked on the east side by a parish annex. The southern portal is decorated with rubble and in a few cases with red bricks, which results in a pleasant polychromy. There are four bays up to the transept. Inside, the double and flying buttresses are supported by columns with Corinthian capitals, while a long barrel vault in the framework animates the central nave up to the crossing of the transept, which consists of an octagonal pointed vault.

Jean Pierre Rives, from Toulouse, well known for his qualities as a rugby player and as former captain of the French team, is also an artist recognized in the world of sculpture. It was in Etaples that he agreed with the Mayor to make a short stopover and drop off three of his monumental works which now stand on the port and opposite the municipal tourist office.
