The church of Saint-Vinebault in Humes dates from the 18th century, as can be seen from the key to the arch of the western portal, which bears the date 1734. It was rebuilt in 1834, with the exception of the porch tower. This elongated building consists of a seven-bay nave with three aisles, a porch tower crowned with a polygonal slate-roofed spire and a choir consisting of a semicircular apse covered by a false cul-de-four. The church is said to have sheltered the body of Saint Helena for one night, when she was transferred from Rome to Hautvillers or Paris (840). A miraculous cure is said to have taken place in that year: a paralysed woman regained her movements through contact with the shrine of Saint Helena.
