The Church of Saint-Martin, a former abbey church from the 11th century. The Abbey was founded by the Lord of La Ferté in 1040. Only the nave remains of the abbey church from that period. In the 13th century, the choir and the west façade of the building were built, remodeled in the 15th century. The bell tower was built in the 15th century. Inside, the baptistery dates from the 15th century. There is a primitive Gothic choir with a 7-sided apse. This monument is listed as a Historic Monument.

Nolléval, a former place of pilgrimage, has a chapel in the hamlet of Montagny, a heritage with rural charm. The hamlet's church was destroyed in 1832. Of this building, largely from the 11th century, only the Saint-Leu chapel remains. The side that opened onto the church was then closed, a porch was built in front of the door and a bell and its bell tower were installed. This chapel is now a curiosity for tourists and hikers.

The church was built in two different periods. The porch, a constituent element of a rural church, allowed non-baptized or penitent people to have access to the religious building while remaining outside the sacred space. The old framework dated from 1761, it was replaced in 2023. The rest of the church, in neo-Gothic style, was built in the second half of the 19th century.

A little-known gem in the heart of the Brayon countryside, this chapel, dedicated to Notre-Dame, is an elegant Romanesque construction in limestone rubble covered with small flat tiles. It is said to have been built by monks from England, after the conquest of William the Conqueror. The building is distinguished by its octagonal bell tower with four superimposed canopies (raised by a metal lantern) which surmounts the crossing of the transept, but especially by its horizontal ceiling composed of eight transverse beams connected by exposed joists. The discovery of surprising paintings dating from the 13th century allowed the monument to be registered as a Historic Monument. The quantity and quality of these paintings today classify it among the jewels of Upper Normandy heritage.
