Caen

Holy Trinity Church in Normandy

Place Reine Mathilde, 14035 Caen, France

Description:

The history of the appearance of the Church of the Holy Trinity is associated with the names of the Norman Duke William the Conqueror, the future King of England, and his wife Matilda. As blood relatives, they had no right to marry. However, the promise to build two abbeys in the city of Caen lifted the ban. The Church of the Holy Trinity was built on the territory of the women's abbey. She found her last refuge in Matilda.

The interior of the church is amazing. Arched entrances, columns, balustrades, floor decorated with mosaics, gargoyles on the walls. Within these walls cultural events, music festivals, exhibitions are held.
