Norman church builders: What influences? What heritage?

Guided Tour

Considered the model for large churches built across the Channel after the conquest of England in 1066, the Abbey of Saint-Étienne in Caen still retains many elements of its original 11th-century structure, including its façade, nave, and transept.

This visit provides an understanding of the principles of its architecture, identifies the innovations introduced during its construction, and measures the considerable influence it has on English religious architecture after the Conquest.
