Montfarville Church

The Montfarville church was built in 1763 of a local white granit, and contains exceptional works of art, notably the virgin with child in multicoloured stone, as well as four large wooden statues.

The Vault and the chancel were decorated in 1879 by the painter from Réville, Guillaume Fouace.

In two years, Fouace painted 19 canvasses de depicting scenes from the life of Christ. These paintings are listed as historical monuments.
