Culture
The Église Saint-Martin is a 13th-century church. It houses statues and stained-glass windows, including statues of a holy bishop and Saint Gilles, which are classified as historic monuments. One stained-glass window depicts Saint Martin cutting his cloak in two to give part of it to a poor man.
The Église Saint-Martin also contains a polychrome limestone statue of a bishop, possibly Saint Martin, dating from the first quarter of the 14th century. The bishop statue is protected as a historic monument as movable cultural heritage. Visitors will find a folder there containing extensive information about the history of the church.
The old baptismal fonts probably came from the church in Bretteville-sur-Ay. They are attributed to the period from the late 16th to the 17th century and were listed as protected movable cultural heritage on 11 December 1980.
