Church of Saint-Pierre

The Saint-Cyr-Sainte-Julitte church- or Pierre Ronde church - is one of the oldest buildings in Normandy, being built in the 10th century. In the 15th century, this Carolingian building, destroyed by a fire, was covered with an exceptional frame on wooden posts with a paneled vault covered with polychrome paintings. If the church has lost many of its original decorative elements, its beauty, characteristics and colors can still be admired thanks to the magnificent restoration, mirroring the original, carried out by an association of passionate volunteers.

The construction of this church began in the 14th century, in place of a chapel erected a century earlier. It underwent phases of reconstruction in the following centuries, before being enlarged in the 16th century. In 1950, it became a basilica on the recommendation of the nuncio Angelo Roncalli, who became John XXIII.

Given to the Abbey of Lyre in the eleventh century, the pre-Romanesque church was a simple building in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, with a single nave extended by a slightly narrower long choir vault. In 1792, the church Saint-Ouen de Rubremont, became "the public room of the common house" - then a barn that passed into the hands of several owners. It was only in 2010 and with the creation of a local association that the church was restored.
