Église du Saint-Sépulcre de Caen, Medieval church in Vaugueux district, Caen, France.
The Saint-Sepulchre collegiate church stands on a hill facing Caen Castle, featuring architectural elements from the 13th century and subsequent periods.
Built in 1219 by Guillaume Acarin following his pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the church contained a fragment of the True Cross that was temporarily stolen during English occupation in 1417.
The building, converted into a cultural space, regularly hosts exhibitions and events organized by the city of Caen municipality.
Located at 5 Place du Sépulcre, the building opens its doors during special events and temporary exhibitions organized by the city.
In 1629, the canons built granite steps connecting Rue du Vaugueux to Place du Saint-Sépulcre, creating a distinctive passage in the city.
