Église Saint-Sauveur de Caen, Gothic church in Place Saint-Sauveur, Caen, France
The church features two parallel naves supported by wooden vaults, reflecting influences from maritime carpentry techniques in its architectural design.
Originally constructed in the 12th century as a Roman chapel, the church underwent significant transformations during the 14th and 16th centuries.
The church contains modern stained glass windows created by Max Ingrand, which replaced those destroyed during the 1944 Battle of Caen.
A security perimeter surrounds the church in 2024 due to structural concerns requiring careful monitoring of the building condition.
The eastern nave displays stained glass windows depicting the life of the Virgin Mary, while the western nave includes a main altar from the 15th century.
