• The church of Dampsmesnil is proposed for a visit, and one of the walls of the nave known as the "fishbone" attests to its age (11th or 12th century).
• The interior contains many classified rooms.
• The consecration stone, located inside the church, dates from 1476 and proves that the monument was rebuilt at that time.
• The altarpiece, dated 1680, is made up of three bays, the central picture of which shows the transfiguration of Christ with God the Father and the dove of the Holy Spirit.
• Three Renaissance bas-reliefs, the former altarpiece, depict the crucifixion of St. Peter, the conversion of St. Paul on the road to Damascus, and the crucifixion of Christ.
• The most remarkable piece is the baptismal font. They date from the 16th century. A large oval tank in polychrome limestone, have high-relief decorations, including St.Peter, St.Paul, St.Beard holding a book and the palm of martyrdom and a holy bishop. The tank rests on a central pedestal and four dolphins resting on the head.
• Among the statuary is a Virgin with Child, St Michet, as well as St Sebastian and St Barbe to whom were dedicated fraternities of charity.
• A Renaissance monument known as the "Evangelists" is erected in the cemetery.
• At the end of the visit, a notice is given to visitors.
