"Heavily remodeled in the 19th century, Notre-Dame d'Enocq Church, in Bréxent-Énocq, is a rectangular sandstone building composed of a small nave and a flat chevet choir.

It could go back to the 12th century. The vault of the flamboyant style choir, very low, replaces a primitive vault of which five grotesque head supports accuse the second half of the twelfth century.

The span of the narthex was destroyed in 1884. The bell-wall does not seem prior to the seventeenth century. "

" Fortement remaniée au XIXe siècle, l’église Notre-Dame d'Énocq, à Bréxent-Énocq, est un édifice rectangulaire en grès composé d’une petite nef et d’un chœur à chevet plat.

Elle pourrait remonter au XIIe siècle. La voûte du chœur de style flamboyant, très basse, remplace une voûte primitive dont cinq des supports à têtes grotesques accusent la seconde moitié du XIIe siècle.

La travée du narthex a été détruite en 1884. Le clocher-mur ne semble pas antérieur au XVIIe siècle. "
