Description:
The church has a plaque commemorating the American paratroopers of the 82nd US Airborne Division who died during the liberation of the town in World War II. The old religious building was destroyed during the Battle of Normandy, but the bell tower has been preserved and is now a memorial. The current church was rebuilt from 1956 to 1960 by Guy Pison, and listed as a historical monument on June 16, 2005.
