This church is without doubt the most beautiful and one of the largest rural churches in France.

Without doubt the most beautiful and among the largest rural churches in France, testifying to the importance of the village at the height of the ducal state. Built in the 12th century on the site of a primitive wooden church, destroyed during the Viking invasions, its architecture is similar to the abbeys founded by William the Conqueror in Caen. The listed monument displays a robustness that fits perfectly with its history, since the place of worship also served, over the course of events, as a lighthouse, a defence building, or even as a surveillance post.

Une église magnifique anciennement fortifiée, située dans le bourg de Ouistreham. Les personnes qui font le détour dans le bourg ne sont jamais déçu : commerces de proximité, petit marché, grande aux dîmes, petites boutiques atypiques...
Le portail de l'église est de toute beauté !
