The Church of Saint-Wandrille is a building in which eight centuries of religious history can be found on the same site, from 709 to 1570.
Although the present church was built in 1745, other churches had been erected on the same site between 709 and 1570. In 704, when the commune was founded, the Merovingian king Childebert III recognized the foundation of the Fontenelle abbey and gave the monks the Aupec land to build a church in honor of Saint Wandrille. A first church was built around the year 1000, then a second in the 16th century, which collapsed in 1723. Work on the present church began in 1739 and was completed six years later.
