Séminaire de Bayeux, Religious seminary building in Bayeux, France
The Séminaire de Bayeux occupies 5,000 square meters along the right bank of the Aure River in central Bayeux, featuring classical architecture.
Construction of the seminary began in 1693 under Bishop François de Nesmond, replacing an earlier priory managed by Augustinian canons since the 13th century.
The medieval chapel, a remnant of the original priory, received historical monument status in 1862, with additional sections listed in 1977.
After its acquisition by the city of Bayeux, the building underwent renovations to house a museum, which opened in 1983.
During World War II, the seminary served as a temporary hospital, providing medical care for soldiers until the end of the conflict.
