Church of Saint-Pierre

The Church of Saint-Pierre stands at the foot of the Château de Caen and was built between the early 13th and the 16th centuries. Its east end, built by Hector Sohier between 1518 and 1545, combines Gothic forms with Renaissance decoration. The spire, brought down by a naval shell on 9 June 1944, has since been rebuilt.
