Towards the end of the 19th century, this modern church in Romanesque style was built according to the plans of Monsieur Bonnorre.

The old church of the Middle Ages must have been Romanesque, but we know that it is on the baptismal registers of Saint-Aubin, that in 1671, under Louis XIV, a presbytery was built at the expense of the inhabitants of the parish. In 1738, under Louis XV, a Grand-Moulin culvert was built in Saint-Aubin on the main road. The church, restored in the 17th century, has kept its Romanesque character with its old bell tower, its porch and its three panelled naves.

The church of Saint-Vincent is a Romanesque church from the 12th century. Reshaped in the Gothic period and in the 18th century, its richness comes from the portal decorated with frescos of oriental style. It has a massive fortified bell tower, altarpieces and two wooden statues of saints. Its famous cemetery cross, dating from the end of the 15th century, decorated with 12 statuettes representing the Apostles, was listed in 1907. This Romanesque church opens onto a portal, crowned by four vaults, decorated with interlacing. The vaults and capitals have carved motifs. A frieze, composed of facing griffins, decorates the capitals of the small columns framing the opening.

The church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Abbey is the jewel of the village of Pleine-Selve and the only remnant of the imposing Premonstratensian monastery. Its construction was ordered by the archbishop of Bordeaux between 1145 and 1150, and the monastery buildings were completely destroyed by French troops in 1407 during the Hundred Years' War and then during the Wars of Religion. The church itself was amputated of its nave. The Romanesque church is only the choir of the old church, only the apse presents the architecture of the 12th century. Today it is the parish church.
