Église Notre-Dame de Portbail, Romanesque church in Port-Bail-sur-Mer, France.

The Notre-Dame church stands at the edge of Portbail harbor, featuring a stone bell tower and architectural elements from the 11th century.

The site previously housed an abbey connected to Saint-Wandrille Abbey in the 8th century before the current church was constructed in the 11th century.

The interior contains two 16th-century polychrome stone statues representing Saint James and the Virgin Mary with Child, along with modern stained glass windows.

The church opens from April to September as an exhibition space, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.

The fortified bell tower served as both a watchtower during the Hundred Years War and continues to function as a navigation landmark for maritime traffic.
