A first chapel built in 1293 by Philippe Le Bel, was replaced by the Saint-Eustache church with two chapels at the end of the 15th century. Two chapels were added during the Renaissance, giving a particular structure to the church: a double-crossbar cross. On Romanesque arches, the church has sculptures in the shape of a daisy and a scallop shell. It also contains sculpted woodwork: stalls, paneling, confessionals, pulpit, baptismal fonts and sliding benches; and magnificent stained glass windows. Built in 1560, the bell tower is considered the tallest slate-covered church bell tower in France at 54 m high. In a dense forest setting, the needle-shaped bell tower dominates the landscape like a beacon to indicate the center of the village.

The church bell tower (built in 1560) dominates the surroundings with its 54 m height, it is considered the tallest slate-covered church bell tower in France.

The first church of La Feuillie was probably a chapel of the royal manor of Philippe le Bel, erected as a parish church by Queen Blanche d'Évreux in the 14th century. At that time, it had a simpler plan than today: the two chapels of Sainte Vierge and Saint Adrien were smaller. Dilapidated and too small, it made way for a new church at the end of the 15th century. Two other chapels: Sainte Philomène (presbytery side) and Saint Augustin (towards the sacristy) were built during the Renaissance and the first two were enlarged. This gives the church its current shape of a double-crossbar cross. Another particularity to explore lies in the church's stained glass windows. These magnificent works of art, with their brilliance and finesse, do not just embellish the interior; they narrate biblical stories and illustrate scenes from the lives of the saints.
