It is a Gothic-style church, which was originally attached to a castle that no longer exists.

Description

This church, built around 1400, is Gothic in style. Originally, it had a single bay with its nave. A door connected it directly to the castle hall, which was attached to it. Medieval paintings and fleur-de-lis on the side remain.
The church was enlarged in 1659 on the west side by the creation of two arches for two chapels. One in honor of the Holy Rosary and the other in favor of Saint Joseph.
In 1863, a new extension was made to the two altars with a third: the altar of the Virgin.
On the right side of the altar, we can see the statue of Saint Eloi who has been the patron saint of Puimoisson since the Middle Ages.
The construction of the bell tower was decided to replace the turret which supported the clock and the bells.
The bell tower is topped with a wrought iron campanile and the date of its construction can be seen on its eastern face by wrought iron keys which connect the bell tower to the church: 1741
