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 village lies at a strategic crossroads between Pohronie and Ponitrie. The dominant feature of the village is the monastery complex with the church of St. Benedict situated on a rocky ridge. It is one of the most beautiful preserved monastery complexes in Slovakia. The monastery and the church were built in the 11th century, on the site of an early medieval settlement.

The monastery Benediktbeuern, founded in 739, is the oldest and one of the most beautiful monasteries in Upper Bavaria. One of the main religious relics, the right arm of the holy Saint Benedikt, was handed over to the buron in the year 800 by ‘Karl the Great’. As a result, the buron was renamed as the Benedicto-Burum. From 1681 to 1686 the cloister church was entirely rebuilt in the Baroque epoch with the typical Italian early baroque accents. The church boasts a fresco cycle of the life of Christ by Hans Georg Asam and the Anastasia chapel, a separate chapel to the north, which is a miniature masterpiece by Johann Michael Fischer. Today the cloister has different functions and is used for conferences, concerts and events.

Presumably, the Jewish Cemetery in Benedykivtsi was established in the 19th century. The cemetery is depicted on a cadastral map of 1865, although the latest tombstone dates to 1907. The cemetery was used until WWII, and the latest preserved gravestone date to 1940.

The Cathedral of Benevento dates back to the Lombard foundation of the Duchy of Benevento at the end of the 8th century, but after its destruction during the Allied bombings during the Second World War, it was largely rebuilt in the 1960s.

Berg working church is a brick church that built in 2007. Berg wooden church was in great need of refurbishment in the 1970s, but not everything was completed. Instead, work was underway to build a new working church. The working church has largely taken over as the worship church after the wooden church.

The Berg church is a medieval stone church which has no porch or portal to the west, but the nave has an entrance portal to the south. In 1876 the church was restored according to the plans of the architect Chr. Christie, and in 1936-37 under the direction of the architect Andreas Nygaard. The sacristy was built as part of the restoration in 1876.
