ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH
Romanesque church built at the beginning of the 16th century, whose visit retraces part of the history of Fécamp.
Built at the beginning of the sixteenth century on the remains of a small Romanesque church, Saint-Étienne Church has a turbulent history. After the terrible fire of 1563, the original monument preserved only the south gate of Renaissance style (classified as a historical monument), transept, apse and choir, but the nave, owing to a lack of funding, was never completed. Notice on both sides of the portal marine graffiti, which attests to the piety of these brave men, always in search of protection from the dangers of the sea. The visit to St. Stephen’s Church is an opportunity to trace part of the story of Fécamp and to discover a slightly less touristy area in the city centre, just as charming as the seafront, and even more authentic.
