Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Argences

The Notre-Dame chapel is the remnant of a moustier: a farm built and operated on behalf of the Abbey of Troarn, by the care of a small community settled there from 1060-1080. The choir is from the 12th century, the nave was redesigned in the 13th century with the addition of a cornice decorated with sawtooth motifs. A bell tower, added in the 13th century, was destroyed in 1698 because of its obsolescence and replaced by a small bell tower at the end of the nave, called "gable bell tower". The porch and its triangular pediment were probably added at the same time. The exterior cornice of the choir is remarkable for its decoration of various modillions. At the end of 2018, the general restoration of the chapel was completed, undertaken in 2009 by the commune with the very active collaboration of the association of the Friends of the Chapel of Notre-Dame de Béneauville, chaired by André Arruego. This work included the repair of the exterior masonry, then the repair of the interior masonry, the restoration of the flat tile roof and finally the consolidation of the buttresses. This restoration is illustrated by its finesse and sensitivity.

The church was built in the 12th and 15th centuries, the choir is Romanesque. The bell tower dates from 1534. The stone baptismal font is from the 17th century. The remarkable bell tower is a polygonal tower which rises on three levels and surmounted by a dome. The main façade is a flat gable wall pierced by a large rose window on the upper level. Inside, the nave has three bays framed by four buttresses and three-pointed arch bays with infills on the south side of the building. The choir has two bays, with two elongated round-arched bays and a round-arched door also on the westernmost bay. The chevet-apse chapel is pierced with three fine round-arched bays topped by a rose window.

The present Church of St. Germain of Biéville was built in the 18th century on pre-existing religious buildings from the 15th century. With a classical style on the outside, the interior of the church contains furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries, including a high altar and an altarpiece classified as a Historical Monument in 1980, as well as the tabernacles of the side altars classified as ISMH in 2007.
