In the village:
Saint-Pierre Church (15th century). It houses a 14th-century Virgin and Child, a sculpted group (c. 1500) representing Saint Mark and a medieval baptismal font, all of which are listed as historic monuments.

Village mill: the mill has existed since the 18th century. It is located on the coastal river Ay, which had many mills (up to six in the commune).
The flour mill belonged to the Toulourge family (landowners in Muneville) before becoming the property of the Rapilly family in 1913, the last millers before the mill ceased operation in the 1980s and 1990s.
Over the years and with technical advances, the mill underwent changes until after the war. Many residents of Muneville worked at the mill.
