13th-14th century church: the terracotta statue of St. Germain from Sauxemesnil lost its head (18th century). Magnificent altarpiece, especially the back of the choir and main altar (17th century). In the side walls of the choir are embedded on one side a Eucharistic reserve, on the other a swimming pool. Presence of funerary slabs and a Maltese cross in blue stone in the transept. Very beautiful bas-relief representing Saint John the Baptist. Fortified bell tower (one of the few on the east coast of Cotentin), corbelled tower established for coastal surveillance. Gargoyles, sculpted heads. OT Cotentin Bay
