Eglise Notre-Dame
In the capital of the Pays d'Auge, heavily affected by the bombings of the second World War, do not miss the visit of the church Notre-Dame for two main reasons:
– its stained glass windows, they were pulverized during a bombing in June 14, 1944 and restored with Gabriel Loire modern techniques, Glass Master in Chartres. The stained glass windows tell the story of Normandy and of the Pays d’Auge: the Vikings, the monks of Jumieges, Joan of Arc, Camembert, etc..
– its organ is listed MH, it is the last organ created by Aristide Cavaille-Coll (the twin of this organ is in Moscow). This is the largest organ of the department of Orne (3 manuals, 1800 pipes).
