The church has been listed as a historical monument since 1952. It is a typical rural church surrounded by a cemetery. The bell tower and western facade date from the Romanesque period, while the chevet and choir are Gothic.

In the Middle Ages, this rural church dedicated to Saint-Sévère belonged to the diocese of Vienne, and was attached to the chapter of Saint-Bernard de Romans as early as 1160. Altered in the 19th century, the church has a Latin cross plan. The Romanesque facade has been preserved, as has the Viennese-style bell-tower resting on the transept arm. The flat chevet and choir are Gothic. To the left of the west portal, embedded in the façade, a 13th-century votive stone commemorates the church's benefactors Bernard de Rostaing and his wife Elisabeth.

Inside, the choir vaults rest on capitals representing the four Evangelists.

Miribel church and cemetery have been listed on the Inventaire supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques since 1926.
