Church rebuilt in 1888 in neo-Romanesque style. The previous church built in the 12th century was razed during the Revolution. It consists of two bays, a transept and a large apse built on the site of an old medieval castle and interesting wall paintings.

This church, built at the end of the 11th century in the Cluniac Romanesque style, has been extensively remodeled over the centuries. The nave is preceded by a narthex, on the left of which opens a baptistery, very rare in the Lévis region. The building is topped by a square 15th-century bell tower adorned with a modillion cornice. A carved wooden pulpit from the late 16th century and a Baroque high altar in carved and gilded wood from the early 17th century constitute quality furnishings. A beautiful statuette from the 15th or 16th centuries depicts the Virgin Mary receiving instruction from Saint Anne. The Stations of the Cross (14 paintings by J. Missé, a contemporary sculptor) are also featured.

A castle classified as a historic monument since 1914, it is made up of a massive keep and a fortified enclosure surrounded by a moat. A river, the Sagonin, supplies them with water. This estate has the particularity of having belonged to the great architect of Louis XIV, Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Its acquisition in 1699 had a specific goal for him: that of owning a titled feudal domain in order to be able to claim its ennoblement by the king in 1682 and thus have his arms appear on all his documents and portraits. The castle subsequently experienced long periods of abandonment and today only the medieval part remains, restored by volunteer projects from 1977.
