The church bell tower (built in 1560) dominates the surroundings with its 54 m height, it is considered the tallest slate-covered church bell tower in France. The first church of La Feuillie was probably a chapel of the royal manor of Philippe le Bel, erected as a parish church by Queen Blanche d'Évreux in the 14th century. At that time, it had a simpler plan than today: the two chapels of Sainte Vierge and Saint Adrien were smaller. Dilapidated and too small, it made way for a new church at the end of the 15th century. Two other chapels: Sainte Philomène (presbytery side) and Saint Augustin (towards the sacristy) were built during the Renaissance and the first two were enlarged. This gives the church its current shape of a double-crossbar cross. Another particularity to explore lies in the church's stained glass windows. These magnificent works of art, with their brilliance and finesse, do not just embellish the interior; they narrate biblical stories and illustrate scenes from the lives of the saints.

Nolléval, a former place of pilgrimage, has a chapel in the hamlet of Montagny, a heritage with rural charm. The hamlet's church was destroyed in 1832. Of this building, largely from the 11th century, only the Saint-Leu chapel remains. The side that opened onto the church was then closed, a porch was built in front of the door and a bell and its bell tower were installed. This chapel is now a curiosity for tourists and hikers.
