Basilica of the Holy Trinity with a square tower on the west side and a high altar that represents the Baptism of Christ.

A simple church existed at the origin, then William the Conqueror built the second one on its ruins. The Hundred Years War inflicted many damages on it, it was rebuilt and then sacked by the revolutionaries in January 1794. The restoration of the 19th century flanked the building with a square tower on the west side. The high altar represents the baptism of Christ. It is one of the symbols of the city. Surrounded by a pedestrian square, it is located a few meters from the marina. This jewel is gradually being renovated - starting with its roof.

Nach der Evangelisierung Cherbourgs durch Saint Éreptiole wurde die Basilika etwa 435 n.Chr. erbaut, im 9. Jahrhundert von den Normannen zerstört und im 11. Jahrhundert wieder aufgebaut. Nach schwerer Beschädigung im hundertjährigen Krieg mit den Engländern erbauten die Franzosen die Basilika im 15. Jh. wieder. Zuletzt während der Französischen Revolution erneut beschädigt und wieder erbaut, überstand die Basilika einen der schwierigsten Kämpfe der Alliierten mit den Deutschen im Zweiten Weltkrieg.
Leider war sie bei unserem Besuch am Mittwoch Mittag nicht geöffnet und es fanden sich auch keine Hinweise auf Öffnungszeiten.

Magnifique monument architectural et spirituel. Des gargouilles superbes. C’est en voyant ce genre d’architecture que l’on se dit que l’homme est capable de faire de magnifiques choses.

La basilique a besoin de travaux de restauration extérieur et intérieur. La nef est jolie.
