The church was erected very probably in the 14th century, perhaps the beginning of the 13th century. From this period, only the two gables remain; the one to the east with its three lancet windows and that of the ogival style portal.
The bell tower was started in the 13th or 14th century but remains at the level of the coast. The bell is in the open air placed on the vault. It was not until 1779 that work resumed, hired by the local priest, Antoine Bon Nicolas Lescellière. They were completed in 1780. In a particular and original style, it is topped with a dome made of granite stones cut to be assembled. All the masonry is of a remarkable finish. It should be compared to a similar bell tower, that of the Notre-Dame de Beaumont-Hague church and one can wonder about this. Is it the effect that at that time the parishes of Gouberville and Beaumont came under the same lord, Mr. Jallot de Beaumont, the bell tower of Beaumont being from 1757, that of Gouberville from 1780?
The windows of the building are equipped with lintels cut according to the geometric shape called "basket handle"
The paving of the choir would be from 1549 (?): Gilles de Gouberville mentions it in his journal de raison from the morning .., went with three harnesses to fetch tiles from Yvetot to pave the church of Gouberville.
That of the nave is attested in 1756.
The church was ransacked during the Revolution, the silverware confiscated and the furniture put up for auction.
The Notre-Dame de Gouberville church has been listed as a historical monument since 1975.
