The church of Saint Leu was rebuilt in its present flamboyant Gothic style in 1449 and was enlarged at the end of the 15th century. In 1793, the church of Saint Leu was stripped of its furnishings and transformed into a fodder shop for the army. Under the Directoire (1795-1799), the church of Saint Leu was returned to worship. In 1853, the municipality of Amiens commissioned the city architect, Vigreux, to carry out restoration work, which was limited to improving the water drainage. The interior of the church was repaired and decorated under the direction of Abbé Gaudissart, the parish priest. In 1918, the last old stained glass windows of the church were destroyed by bombing during the German offensive.

The Saint-Louis church is one of the rare examples of neo-classical architecture in the region, built under the direction of the architect Felix Garde in 1835.

The church of Saint-Martin d'Amblainville was built in the 11th century, enlarged during the 13th century, then transformed in the 19th century thanks to Abbot Eugène Barret, who had it decorated with extravagant neo-Gothic decorations.
