In the Middle Ages, Saint-Avit-au-Perche was a priory of the abbey of Saint-Calais, founded by Avit's companion. Today's church dates from the very beginning of the 12th century. It consists of a five-bay nave ending in a semicircular apse. It is covered with chestnut shingles. Several original windows remain; others have been reworked (including the first window, on the north side). This can be seen in the shape of the keystones. A walled-up side door to the south can be seen from the outside. It has an enormous mitre lintel. Inside, it has been transformed into a niche housing Our Lady of Lourdes. The apse is flanked by projecting buttresses. Those at the corners of the façade are from the 15th century. The western portal in a pointed arch is a 15th-century renovation that was completely redone at the end of the 20th century.

Saint John the Baptist is considered the pivotal figure of the Bible, between the Old and New Testaments: the last of the Prophets, he is the precursor of Christ, the messenger who announces Him... His mother - Elizabeth, is related to Mary and both women meet while they are both expecting their son. We can only refer to the Gospel of Luke (1, 39-45) which powerfully depicts this touching scene, and which the Church has celebrated every year since the 13th century under the name of Visitation (May 31). Jean, as an adult, will lead the harsh life of an ascetic in the desert. He preaches, teaches prayer and proposes a baptism of conversion, while announcing the coming of “one more powerful than he… who will no longer baptize only in water, but in the Holy Spirit…” He himself will baptize Jesus.

The Saint Jean Baptiste Church was built in the 16th century and transformed in the 19th century.

Church of ancient foundation, mentioned around 969. The church, rectangular in plan, is composed of a main nave of four bays extended by a chancel with a flat apse of two bays; the nave is covered by hull paneling; the choir is ribbed vaulted (16th century); the main vessel is flanked to the northwest by a three-story square bell tower. In the 16th century, the main vessel was increased by an aisle of three bays following the bell tower, with ribbed vaults. The joining pillar between the choir and the first aisle bay is decorated with a small commemorative mural of the priest Lemaçon who embellished the church (1612).
