The construction of the church began in 1220 and was completed in the 15th century. During the revolution it was used as an iron and lead store. Partial destructions took place, the first one in 1940 with the war. The stained glass windows exploded. A second one takes place in 1973, a tornado destroys the spire which collapses on the roof.
Greek cross plan building. The apse is polygonal in shape, with seven sides.
Saint-Sauveur de Les-Andelys was built in 1225, on the ruins of a women's abbey of 511. It is, therefore, the oldest attested monastery in Upper Normandy. Works took place until the 17th century, followed by restoration in the 19th century.
Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, it bears witness to the Anglo-Norman style. During the Revolution, it was sold as a national asset. It will then become a cotton mill, then will be sold to the Salvation Army a few decades later.
The church has been part of the parish of Heudebouville since 1027, which depends on the Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy. The church, which has been classified since 1926, is composed of a single nave covered with a paneled frame and a choir with flat bedside and vault of plaster. The massive bell tower is topped in two parts: the first, similar to a pavilion roof is surmounted by a small polygonal spire.
