The Church of Saint-Étienne in Jumelles is a Romanesque church dating from the 11th century and was partially rebuilt in the 16th century, including through the addition of new window openings.
The church contains two protected statues from the 16th century: Saint Étienne and Saint Jean-Baptiste. The two statues are registered as protected movable cultural heritage.
The church also contains a paten by the goldsmith Henri Clavel, dating from the last quarter of the 18th century, which is registered as protected movable cultural heritage.
In 1825, sarcophagi were discovered in the municipality of Jumelles, indicating ancient or early medieval settlement. The now-vanished windmill of Jumelles remains embedded in the visual and historical heritage of the municipality.
