The Church of St. Peter and Paul (Église Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul) in the municipality of Givry was built between 1772 and 1791. It is considered a masterpiece of French Classicism. It was designed by the famous regional engineer and architect Émiland Gauthey. Its striking, bright yellow facade, which makes it visible from afar in the village, is very noticeable. Its round shape and the large bull's-eye windows (Œil-de-bœuf) also make it unique.
