A seemingly simple church with a very original structure composed of a concrete shell reinforced with nested ceramic cylinders (forming the catenary profile of the vault).

Today the sign was unfortunately painted over in white 🥲

Listed as a Historic Monument, the Notre-Dame church is a very interesting building that expresses some very characteristic features of the architecture of the Norman School, particularly in the Gothic choir attributed to the 13th century. The bell tower-porch has a late 15th century portal with an ogival arcade that frames an openwork tympanum. Above the portal is built a flamboyant style rose window. The nave, flanked by two side aisles, was built in the 13th century, but was extensively remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries. It has an interior elevation on 3 levels. All that remains of the primitive Romanesque church is the base of the old lantern tower. Visible only from the outside, it is located at the crossing of the transept. The church has some singularities: -The sepulchre dating from the 15th century, representing Christ stretched out on a shroud, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, Saint John the Evangelist, the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene. -The stained glass windows are attributed for the most part to Édouard Didron, a great Parisian master glassmaker.

The war memorial of François POMPON, the famous animal sculptor (born in Saulieu 1855-1933) represents a Latin cross and a Gallic rooster with open wings, elements sculpted from the same Burgundy stone. It is this monument that will save him from poverty and that will allow him in 1922 to create his polar bear and to be able to live from his sculpture. He had come to Cuy-Saint-Fiacre because he worked as a practitioner for René de Saint-Marceaux, after having been that of Rodin, of Camille Claudel. The monument is classified as a historical monument in 2022 and labeled as a rural heritage of departmental interest.

17th century work of art registered as a Historic Monument. Here passed the chasse-marée! A legend comes from this bridge: "A local resident wanted to build a bridge there, but his resources did not allow him to carry out his project. One day when he was examining the place for the twentieth time, the devil appeared to him and offered to carry out the work in a single night, provided that the first person to cross the bridge would become the property of the builder. The deal was concluded and, the following night, Satan set to work. When the owner of the land where the work was being carried out heard the noise made by the devil's workers, he regretted the commitment he had made. Fortunately, a good thought came to him when he heard the crowing of his rooster announcing the arrival of day. At that moment, the work was nearing completion; Our man ran to the henhouse, grabbed the rooster and threw it on the bridge that had just been built, saying: "Satan, here is your reward!" The devil carried off the bird of Mars, gnashing his teeth, and since that time the bridge has been called the Cock Bridge." Abbé Decorde – 1856

This majestic facade located near the Casino comes from the town of Gisors. Originally, it was the facade of the chapel of the Carmelite convent built in the 17th century at the initiative of François Sublet. After the French Revolution, this building was transformed into a municipal theater before being bombed during the Second World War. Jacques Hébertot, owner of the Forges Casino in the 1950s, bought the last remaining intact vestige from the town of Gisors and erected it in the town of Forges-les-Eaux with the aim of recreating a certain historical setting.
