Église Saint-Michel de Vaucelles

The Saint-Michel de Vaucelles church features a Romanesque tower from the 12th century, a 15th-century choir, and a 16th-century nave with side aisles.

The church received its historical monument status in two phases: the tower was classified in 1886, while the rest of the building was registered in 1970.

The vault keystones from the 15th and 16th centuries display carved figures of saints and guild patrons throughout the church side aisles.

Visitors can access the church from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM during weekdays and Saturdays, with closures on Sundays and public holidays.

The church stands on an elevated position overlooking the Orne River valley, with an octagonal bell tower added to its classical facade in 1780.
