Historic Churches and Abbeys of France

Normandy’s religious landscape spans centuries, from the Romanesque ruins of Jumièges to the flamboyant Gothic details of Évreux Cathedral. This collection highlights the region's architectural evolution, featuring William the Conqueror’s twin abbeys in Caen and the iconic island parish of Mont-Saint-Michel. The list also includes sites with significant 20th-century history, such as the paratrooper-linked church at Sainte-Mère-Église and the Neo-Byzantine Basilica of St. Thérèse in Lisieux.
