The Cucq church is the oldest in the parish. It is the only one that is “oriented”, that is to say, turned towards the East, like most old churches; the East symbolizes Christ “rising sun” who came to illuminate the crowds of people. Around the church is the old cemetery; etymologically, the cemetery is the resting place; it is not the necropolis, the city of the dead, because the Christian waits to participate in the resurrection of Christ. The church could date from the 16th century, as evidenced by a stone in the nave with the date 1534. The building was rebuilt after a collapse in the 19th century. Later, the bell tower, initially in the middle of the church, would be moved to the front. The work was completed in 1934.

The Notre-Dame church, located in the hamlet of Trépied in Cucq, was built in 1965-1966 by the Boulogne architect Yves Laloy. It is a concrete block construction covered with cement. The single-sided roof consists of a concrete slab on slabs. The church consists of two rectangular buildings that communicate with each other. The first houses the nave, the second the weekday chapel. The altar, located at the intersection of the two, benefits from overhead lighting coming from a bay window and a skylight. It is visible both from the nave and from the weekday chapel. The latter, narrower, houses the baptistery.
