Église Notre-Dame-du-Cap-Lihou, Gothic parish church in Granville, France
The Notre-Dame-du-Cap-Lihou church stands on Cape Lihou, featuring a quadrangular bell tower with an octagonal spire and flamboyant Gothic architectural elements.
The construction of the stone church began in 1441 when English forces occupied Cape Lihou, using granite from the Chausey islands throughout three centuries of building.
The church contains numerous artworks, including the 1712 Assumption of the Virgin painting and a 15th-century white limestone statue of Notre-Dame du Cap Lihou.
Regular religious ceremonies take place in this classified historic monument, which opens its doors daily for visitors to discover its architectural and artistic elements.
The church's main portal lintel bears an inscription in French inviting passersby to say an Ave Maria if they carry Mary's love in their hearts.
