parish church in sandstone and granite, with interesting 12th- frescoes inside.
It’s one of the oldest in the département, and one of the few attested before the Norman Conquest. Built between 1089 and 1125, this Romanesque edifice is constructed of sandstone and granite. The interior features wall paintings dating from the 12th and 14th centuries. They were rediscovered in the 19th century under 17th-century whitewash, before being restored. Another original feature is the painted wooden vault in the choir and apse. The silver-plated pewter Stations of the Cross were created by sculptor Christian Malézieux, whose workshop is just a few yards away.

L'église de Saint-Cénéri est située sur les hauteurs de la ville. Elle n'est pas très grande. Extérieurement elle n'a rien d'exceptionnel, mais c'est à l'intérieur qu'elle se révèle avec ses peintures murales.

Petite église romane à découvrir. Elle est relativement bien conservée pour l'une des plus ancienne églises de Normandie.
