Church of Notre-Dame de Dives-sur-Merent, Medieval church in Dives-sur-Mer, France.
The Notre-Dame de Dives church combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, featuring limestone walls and three distinct entrance porches.
William the Conqueror established this church in 1067, making it a significant starting point for his Norman invasion of England.
The church walls contain over 400 marine graffiti inscriptions dated from the 15th to the 20th century, documenting maritime history.
Located at 4 Rue Hélène Boucher in Dives-sur-Mer, the church maintains regular visiting hours while certain areas remain restricted.
A special opening in the wall, known as a leper's hole, allowed individuals with leprosy to participate in religious services from outside.
