- Church Saint-Acceul , built in 1536-54, with a nave from 1709 and the west facade of 1852. The church is the only one with this name in France; St. Acheul was the first bishop of Amiens . The glass windows from the 16th century are particularly worth seeing. The tower construction seems to have been stopped prematurely due to the chaos of the war.
