The latter has on each side a long and narrow dormer window made up of two columns resting on the base of the spire supporting a small arcade and a triangular eaves. The transition from the square to the octagon is made by a sort of half-pyramid housed in the corners.

The Saint-Hélier Fountain is located near the northeast corner of the Notre-Dame Church cemetery.

The church was built in the 13th century, or even in the previous century, at the foot of a cliff. It is built on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa built between the 1st and 3rd centuries and of which, in 1972, vestiges (amphorae, brick walls, etc.) were found in the cemetery. Placed under the patronage of Saint Clair, it is built on the foundations of a monastery that he founded in 880. It is oriented southeast-northwest. It was given in 1186 to the White Abbey of Mortain. Under the Revolution, it was stripped bare, its bell tower collapsed, its bells broke. It was enlarged and rebuilt from 1829. A new parish church, dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, was built in 1958 to follow the development of the population. Abandoned without being desecrated, it was restored by the municipality in 1998 to house religious and cultural events. Near the church is the Saint-Clair fountain, where the monk would have come to pray.
