In the center of Randonnai, the 16th-century Saint-Malo church, enlarged in 1836, houses several works classified as Historic Monuments, including a classical altarpiece with paintings of Saint Andrew and Saint Sebastian. Funeral slabs serve as threshold steps. Inside, a plaque commemorates the departure of Pierre Tremblay (whose birthplace is in La Filonnière) in 1647 for New France. He is the ancestor of the Tremblays of Quebec and North America.

This building was erected towards the end of the 15th century, on the former medieval fiefdom known since 1260 as the "Normandel Farm" and long owned by the Viron family. In the chapel dedicated to him, a beautiful 16th-century statue depicting Saint Firmin as a bishop and the magnificent white stone altarpiece, sculpted and ornamented in the purest Renaissance style, evoke the ardent faith of this evangelizer of Roman Gaul in the 3rd century. The current church, restored at the end of the 19th century in the style of the period after a long period of neglect, retains some traces of the old construction: the masonry of the rear wall overlooking the cemetery, with the remains of a small closed door and two buttresses of large rubble, and on the gable of the transept overlooking the road, a large Flamboyant Gothic window. The church of Normandel preserves other elements of great interest. In the chapel, on the right side, is a beautiful 16th-century polychrome stone Virgin and Child. Below the statue, a second stone altarpiece, finely carved and ornamented in the Renaissance style, shows, on one side, Mary seated near Jesus holding a chalice, and Joseph leaning on his cane, to whom the young John the Baptist appears to be bidding farewell before departing for the desert. In the nave, the large Christ on the cross, surrounded by Mary and Saint John, is moving in its sobriety: the outstretched arms of the crucified bear the full weight of our humanity, raising it to God. In the sacristy, an old fragment of an embroidered banner bears the image of Saint Firmin and the inscription "Charity of Normandel - 1513."

The church of Cintray has been listed as a historical monument since June 15, 1920. This building contributes to the beauty of the Eure landscapes and the richness of France's heritage. Over the centuries, the buildings that have been grafted or agglomerated in the surrounding area have been built within the framework of a social structure: the parish. These buildings constitute references in terms of local architecture, because they are often made with local materials: tiles or slates (from the 19th century), stones (flint, Grison, Seine Valley, sandstone, etc.), bricks or cob, lime plaster and nearby sand or earth. This gives colors that often range from beige to brown or red, and volumes perfectly suited to the Normandy climate (roof slopes, etc.). These churches have been the subject of specific analysis because their surroundings are not completely urbanized. The empty spaces or breathing spaces nearby help preserve their setting. The site of the church is very interesting because, located between the Iton and the very refined village square, it offers, to the south, large visual openings onto the monument. These spaces, little or not urbanized, must be preserved.

Located 5 km northeast of La Ferté-Vidame, the Saint-Denis de Morvilliers church stands in the very center of the village. The rectory was the abbot of Saint-Père de Chartres, whose monks owned the church from the beginning of the 12th century. Two charters, dated 1126 and 1127, attest to this. This building comprises a single nave ending in a semicircular chevet. A timber-framed bell tower has crowned the western part of the roof since the 18th century. The west portal through which one enters this building is made of gray stone, unfortunately cemented with a decoration of false stones. The south wall is pierced by five narrow bays, probably from the 12th century. Four windows were installed in the 15th century on the north facade. A fifth, now blocked, was pierced in the apse at the same time. Inside, despite alterations, the church retains an exposed rafter frame forming a medieval truss. Curiously independent of the church structure, it rests on two rows of posts along the drip walls. The vault is paneled. The presence of frescoes could be detected under the plasterwork of the north wall. For the restoration of the apse's frame and roof, the Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) awarded a grant of €16,769 in 2001.

Located in the center of the village, it is dedicated to two twin brothers, Saint Gervais and Saint Protais, who were martyred in the 2nd century in Milan. Its construction dates from the 12th century. At that time, it included the flat-saddle nave and the choir. In the 15th and 16th centuries, it was completed by the south aisle and the ceiling covering. The south aisle was listed in July 1932, and the entire church has been listed since September 2011.

The church is located near a departmental road and is surrounded by a cemetery. Church oriented with a longitudinal plan composed of a single nave. The entrance to the building is via a porch body. An annex building is attached to the north side of the choir. The western facade of the porch body rises on two levels delimited by a projecting cornice. It is pierced by a low-arched door as well as a rose window in the upper part. The bell tower, of polygonal plan, is positioned on the ridge of the roof. It is covered with a polygonal spire surmounted by a ridge cross and has two roof eaves. The building is covered with a gable roof. That of the annex building ends in a hip. The side walls are pierced with arched bays and supported by buttresses. The annex building is pierced by a quadrangular window and door. The buttresses of the choir bear witness to the Romanesque origins of the church. The nave, built in the 16th century, was enlarged in the 19th century by a bay to the west. The bays of the building were re-pierced around 1822.

Église Saint Madeleine is a church where beautiful various statues of Saints, famous and less famous. The reason for so many different statues is that the school of sculpture was established here.
