Romanesque church with Burgundian, Auvergne and Berry influence. Built at the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th, the current building belongs to the transitional Romanesque style. Indeed, if it is Romanesque in its general plan, the ornamentation of its portals and its capitals, its narrow semi-circular openings, its elegant apse and its cul-de-four vaulted apsidioles, it is "timidly" Gothic through the vault of its nave. Furthermore, built at the crossroads of three dioceses, this construction was influenced by the Burgundian, Auvergne and Berry schools. The capitals are most interesting: intertwined foliage, heads of grimacing men and beasts, grotesque masks... A statue of the Virgin with the bird in polychrome wood dates from the 17th century. It is remarkable for its state of preservation and its subject: Mary holding the child Jesus in her arms with a bird perched on his hand. This refers to the apocryphal gospel of the childhood of Jesus according to Thomas written in the 3rd century: Jesus as a child performs miracles such as giving life to clay birds.

The Saint-Étienne church was built by the Benedictines of Souvigny in the 12th century. MH. It includes a nave with aisles, a transept with oriented chapels and the choir presents an alternation of arched bays and mitered arches of Auvergne influence. Beautiful capitals with figures, birds, foliage: baptismal font with colonettes 12th-14th centuries: stone font and tombstone late 13th-early 14th century. The bell tower is typical of Bourbonnais churches with a blind floor and an open level topped by a modern wooden spire. With the ditches, the church represents the last medieval vestige of the town.

This church, built at the end of the 11th century in the Cluniac Romanesque style, has been extensively remodeled over the centuries. The nave is preceded by a narthex, on the left of which opens a baptistery, very rare in the Lévis region. The building is topped by a square 15th-century bell tower adorned with a modillion cornice. A carved wooden pulpit from the late 16th century and a Baroque high altar in carved and gilded wood from the early 17th century constitute quality furnishings. A beautiful statuette from the 15th or 16th centuries depicts the Virgin Mary receiving instruction from Saint Anne. The Stations of the Cross (14 paintings by J. Missé, a contemporary sculptor) are also featured.
