Take a close look at the bell tower with three upturned drains, it may remind you of an Italian tower! The foundation of the church dates back to 1560, under Jean Dubusc, parish priest of Quillebeuf. The church once had the rank of chapel. The current appearance of the church dates back to the 17th century but several stained glass windows date back to the 16th century. The sacristy was built in the 19th century and its porch in the 20th century, as was the monumental cross.

It is to Gabriel de Limoges that we owe the Allée des Limousins. The latter crosses the Eawy forest for 14 km from Maucomble to Muchedent. According to the archives of the National Forestry Office, it took its name from the Sapeurs de l'Empire, originally from Limousin. They would have pierced the alley around 1811 on the occasion of the planting of the Garden of the King of Rome at Ventes-Saint-Rémy in honor of the son of Napoleon I.
