The whitewashed Maglebrände church is built in monk's stone with a Romanesque choir and without a tower, but with a gable on the west gable. The church contains individual frescoes from the 14th and 16th centuries with religious motifs.

Mycket vacker vit kyrkobyggnad med en trevlig översiktlig kyrkogård. Likaså extra byggnaden. Bra parkering finns direkt från stora vägen. Kyrkan var låst.

La Hougue Bie

La Hougue Bie is a Neolithic ritual site which was in use around 3500 BC. Hougue is a Jèrriais/Norman language word meaning a \'mound\' and comes from the Old Norse word haugr. The site consists of 18.6m long passage chamber covered by a 12.2m high mound. The site was first excavated in 1925 by the Société Jersiaise. Fragments of twenty vase supports were found along with the scattered remains of at least eight individuals. Gravegoods, mostly pottery, were also present. At some time in the past, the site had evidently been entered and ransacked.

In Western Europe, it is one of the largest and best preserved passage graves and the most impressive and best preserved monument of Armorican Passage Grave group. Although they are termed \'passage graves\', they were ceremonial sites, whose function was more similar to churches or cathedrals, where burials were incidental.
