A superb abbey, one of the most important ducal buildings in Normandy, a masterpiece of medieval art.

Caen boasts one of the most important monuments of the ducal era in Normandy. Founded in 1063 by William the Conqueror, then Duke of Normandy, it was intended to house Benedictine monks. Today, Caen's Town Hall occupies the monastic complex, rebuilt in the 18th century around a Tuscan-style cloister. Consecrated in 1077, the Gothic-style abbey church features a huge three-level Romanesque nave and houses the tomb of William the Conqueror. A must-see!

Cette Abbaye dans l'alignement de l'hôtel de ville avec son cloître est sublime, cet ensemble architectural est à contempler par tous les temps et à visiter ????????

Plutôt décevant à l'intérieur, car il est utilisé comme Hôtel de Ville et inaccessible, sauf une petite partie. Par contre, l'extérieur est absolument magnifique. Lisez; "Macron, dans l'ombre", sur: angelogeorgedecripte.blog

Mooi indrukwekkend gebouw wat te bezichtigen valt. Je hebt er niet heel veel tijd voor nodig want wat er te zien valt is beperkt. Een deel van het gebouw is namelijk in functie als gemeentehuis.

Uno dei simboli della città, oggi sede del Comune e, nell' attigua chiesa è sepolto Guglielmo il Conquistatore
