About this building
The Church of Saint-Michel of Hennequeville is located in Trouville-sur-Mer, in Normandy. The existence of a church on this site could date back to the 6th century. In 1006 an exemption was given by Richard II, grandfather of William the Conqueror, to the Abbey of Fécamp, that was represented by the parish of Hennequeville.
The church has been destroyed and rebuilt several times throughout its history. The last renovations date from the 18th century. The church is composed of a long nave with a flat chevet that is topped by a steeple, and opens with a porch on the west facade. To the east, a sacristy leans against the wall of the choir.
Inside, there are, among other movable objects, a set of two windows evoking scenes of the Renaissance, as well as statues from the twelfth, fourteenth and sixteenth centuries.
