Saint-Sauveur, Caen

The earliest confirmed mention of the church appears in a papal bull issued by Pope Eugene III between 1152 and 1153.

[2] The current building was constructed in three stages: the bell tower and easternmost nave, dedicated to Saint Eustace, were built in the 14th century.

On 24 April 2024, the church was closed to the public following an inspection of its facades, and a safety perimeter was established.

[5] The church is notable for its parallel naves, wooden vaults, and ornate Gothic and Renaissance details.

The eastern nave, dating to the 14th century, includes a bell tower and a Renaissance apse completed in 1546.
