The church of Jumièges was built in the late eleventh or early twelfth century, at the request of the monks of the Abbey who did not want to be troubled by the parishioners. A Romanesque nave is left.
In the sixteenth century, on planed to redo the church increasing. The construction of the choir has been brought to completion from 1537 on the initiative of Father François de Fontenay. It includes an ambulatory twelve bays where nine chapels open. He has a column in the center as in Saint-Maclou of Rouen or Our Lady of Caudebec-en-Caux.
The transept remained unfinished because of the hard times, and in particular of religious wars. We had built a temporary steeple framing. He is always there. The portal was revamped at the time. It is topped with a bow basket handle.

The cemetery is around the église.
