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.

Basilique Sainte-Trinité 50100 Cherbourg-En-Cotentin
La basilique Sainte-Trinité, située à Cherbourg-En-Cotentin, est de grandes dimensions. J'ai tout particulièrement apprécié les très beaux chapiteaux peints et panneaux sculptés ainsi que le maître-autel magnifique. Par contre, j'ai été surprise par la clarté qui régnait à l'étage sur le joli parvis piéton, alors que le bas de l'église était relativement sombre, uniquement éclairé par le maître-autel et les chapelles. Elle mérite assurément la visite.

On ne peut être qu'en admiration devant toutes les Œuvres exposées, le travail accompli dans la construction de chaque partie de l'édifice, les extérieurs époustouflants, le tout permettant le recueillement, la réflection et la prière.
