The church, built on the foundations of a small Gallo-Roman temple, is one of the principal Romanesque buildings in Normandy. It houses the organ by Parizot (1745-1746). On the outskirts of the church, the Guibray Fair was established by William the Conqueror. Starting on the Wednesday before the Assumption, it hosted merchants selling cloth, hides, fabrics, and silks. This important fair also allowed the Falaise region to sell its agricultural products. The largest fair in the west, second in France after Beaucaire, it was as renowned as those in Troyes or Provins. Its famous horse fair lasted until the early 20th century.

The house was built around 1750. At that time, a beautiful English park with gardens was created. It no longer exists today, but the green space that one crosses to access the house is still a peaceful part of nature to enjoy.
