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.

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.
