Dedicated to Saint Maclou, the church of Conteville depended on the bishop of Dol-de-Bretagne. Its plan is characterized by a nave of three bays from the 13th century and a recessed choir with a flat chevet rebuilt in the 16th century. The roof is made of slate. The church is accessed by a bell tower-porch built to the west of the nave in the 18th century.

It is built in brick and cut stone, and topped with a polygonal spire. A sacristy is attached to the north wall of the choir. The entire building is covered with a shingle vault supported by a 15th century frame with careful ornamentation.

The triumphal arch at the entrance to the choir is decorated with a torus. The three pointed bays of the south wall of the nave date from the Renaissance: Among the furnishings, it is worth mentioning the baptismal font from the 12th century as well as the high altar from the Louis XV period topped with its lambrequin canopy.

Near the church, a monument was erected in honor of Abbot Gilles François Rever de Beauvez (1753-1828), parish priest from 1784 until his death and one of the most prominent figures in the department.

Despite the major restoration work carried out in 1893 by Chavlon, an architect in Pont-Audemer, the church of Conteville still retains a special character that earned it a place on the “Circuit of Romanesque churches in the canton of Beuzeville”.

In 1999, the Sauvegarde de l’Art français granted a grant of 50,000 F for the restoration of the west gable.
