Notre-Dame de l'Epinay Abbey Church, Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives

Isolated in the Normandy countryside, this chapel is reminiscent of a hermitage. It has remained intact over the centuries, just as its master imagined it would when it was first constructed in around 1140. It is of Norman style. In the 13th century it was decorated with a painted mural that taught the life of Jesus and the Virgin, the murder of Thomas Beckett and an attack on a castle by neighboring peasants. Time has damaged it but there are still 100 m² of pictorial scenes as well as two beautiful recumbents of the thirteenth century.

The present Church of St. Germain of Biéville was built in the 18th century on pre-existing religious buildings from the 15th century. With a classical style on the outside, the interior of the church contains furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries, including a high altar and an altarpiece classified as a Historical Monument in 1980, as well as the tabernacles of the side altars classified as ISMH in 2007.

This religious building dates back to the 14th century but according to Arcisse de Caumont, it would have been largely rebuilt later. The openings were reworked in the 16th century, while the construction of the present western façade can be traced back to the 18th century thanks to an inscription dated 1766. The church remained abandoned throughout the 19th century. It is registered in the inventory of Historical Monuments in 1975 and restoration work was undertaken in the last quarter of the following century by a conservation association chaired by the mayor of the town: the frame, the roof, the paintings and pews of the time are then restored thanks to many donations and grants.
