About this building
The building consists of a 12th century nave and a 13th century flat chevet choir. To the north and south, two large chapels are attached to the crossbars. The tower is square, situated between the nave and the choir, only its base is Romanesque. The whole is topped by a gabled roof (this is a Normandy peculiarity). The western façade is preceded by a large 13th century porch forming a narthex. Inside, we notice a statue of Saint Quentin, located in the choir on the north side, as well as a 15th century statue of a virgin with child located in an interior niche corresponding to an old Romanesque doorway. Several magnificent altarpieces mainly date from the seventeenth century. The one in the south chapel is particularly noteworthy. The painting represents the donation of the Rosary to St. Dominic and St. Catherine. It is surrounded by fifteen medallions representing scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin.
