Eglise Saint-Felix

The choir of Saint-Félix de Polisy dates back to the 12th century, but the nave and chapels were built in the 16th century. The south portal dates from the Renaissance period. The south aisle vaults were rebuilt in 1724. The tower dates from 1852 and the spire from 1884. Important 16th-century wall paintings were uncovered in 2004
The elongated nave has a single aisle to the south. In the 15th century, two chapels were built around the choir. The one on the north side is the former chapel of the seigneurs de Dinteville, long-time owners of the neighboring château.

It communicates with the latter's park through a gate and opens onto the choir through an arcade closed by a large wrought-iron gate. In the past, lords could attend church services without being seen. To the south of the choir is the sacristy and a small chapel. In 1988, the Polisy church benefited from the creation of contemporary stained-glass windows in all the choir and side aisles, by the Gaudin workshop. In a complete recomposition and restoration, elements of stained glass from the first half of the 16th century were combined with an abstract, purely decorative or figurative reinterpretation of older elements to create new bays. These composite stained-glass windows feature the Litany of the Virgin, as well as a saint with a sword and a phylactery, angels carrying another phylactery (bay 4); a Crucifixion in the tympanum bellows of the axis bay; a martyred deacon, the suffering Trinity and a fragment of Christ's baptism in bay 2; an angel in prayer, heads of angels and God, a figure of the Holy Spirit in bay 3; a figure of the Holy Ghost in the tympanum bellows of the axis bay; an angel in prayer, heads of angels and God, a figure of the Holy Spirit in the tympanum bellows of the axis bay; a figure of the Holy Spirit in the tympanum bellows of the axis bayan angel at prayer, heads of angels and God, a reconstituted figure with an old man?s head, a woman?s body and a sword in bay 6.

The seigneurial chapel to the north of the sanctuary, where members of the de Dinteville family were buried from the 15th to 17th centuries, features a late 19th-century stained-glass window dedicated to St. Clare and a martyred saint. The building and its stained glass windows were listed on May 29, 1926.
