Built from 1908 to 1912, by more than 300 volunteers and restored in 1975, the church surprises with its size and Norman style, unique in the region. It deserves a visit. The architect was the parish priest, Father Joseph-Louis Eudist Hesry, from Normandy, who was also an architect. The vault of the church is high over 8 meters and is decorated with some 60 motifs carved with a penknife.
