To honor the many American paratroopers and infantrymen who lost their lives in this region, a statue named "Iron Mike" was erected there. This statue is similar to the one that can be seen at Fort Bragg (USA), where the 82nd Airborne Division was - and still is - based.

The Church of Saint-Martin de Fresville is a Catholic building whose origins date back to the 12th century. The church as it survives dates from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. A lawsuit related to the building's patronage took place in the mid-13th century. The church, built of limestone, features Gothic and Renaissance volumes and ornaments, including a Saint-Martin charity. The gabled bell tower is very distinctive. Near the church, a "cemetery chapel" still exists, the Chapel of Saint-Sulpice (Bishop of Bayeux).
