Built in the 13th century style with limestone infill, it consists of a nave with shed-covered aisles, a projecting two-bay transept and a choir surrounded by a walkway opening on to two sacristies and a polygonal hipped covered chapel. Gargoyles in the shape of fantastic animals adorn the top of the walls.
The Church of Sainte-Foy is located in Sainte-Foy-de-Montgommery, in Normandy. The lords of the place were the Montgommery, and their tombstones can still be seen in the church. The choir, dedicated to St Foy, from the 13th century, is the oldest part of the church. The nave, built in the sixteenth century, is flanked by a bell tower that was built in the eighteenth century. There is an interesting seventeenth century tabernacle.
The church of Saint-Gilles de Fougy, a listed historical monument, is located in Bourg-Saint-Leonard, Normandy. This old chapel, built in the twelfth century, became, the following century, one of the fourteen priory-cures dependent on the Abbey of Silly-en-Gouffern. The value of this building lies in the exceptional decoration of the choir, dated from the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century.
