In 1944, the church was partly destroyed by an American destroyer during the landing, particularly the bell tower because seven German soldiers were positioned there who observed the shore and communicated firing data to the batteries.
The reconstruction of the church was carried out from 1946 to 1951, which allowed it to regain its pre-war appearance.
Romanesque art: it is characterized by the stone vault. The columns supporting the arches are cylindrical, topped with capitals often carved with animals or plants, or more or less geometric symbols. Period from 1030 to the middle of the 12th century.
Located to the north of the choir, the chapel was built later in the 15th century.
The sacristy, for its part, was built in the 19th century.
Notre Dame de l’Assomption will be classified as a Historic Monument in 1840.

The church tower is made up of six floors on the front and five on the other sides.
We can also appreciate the pretty round turret which houses the staircase located at the end of the bell tower.
There is also a sundial.
Two openings are made on the top floor of the tower. This Romanesque tower is one of the most remarkable in the department, only the pyramidal roof with the dormer windows is later (15th century).

Some quiet monuments speak clearer than the many busy museums
