Église de Varengeville-sur-Mer, Coastal church in Varengeville-sur-Mer, France.

The Church of Varengeville-sur-Mer sits atop a high cliff overlooking the English Channel and is built from local flint and sandstone. The building combines an older nave with additions and modifications from different periods.

The northern part of the church dates from the 12th and 13th centuries, built in flint with a Romanesque timber roof; a second, Gothic nave in local sandstone was added later, so the plan lacks the usual Latin-cross form. The entrance porch opening into the south nave was rebuilt in the 16th century. The church was listed as a monument historique in 1924. Consolidation work on the foundations and choir took place in 2000, and roofs, walls, vaults and framework were restored in 2018 at a cost of one million euros.

The church is dedicated to Saint Valery of Leuconay, whose relics William the Conqueror had partly removed and placed in English churches and at Saint-Valery-en-Caux. Inside, a modern Jesse Tree window is by Georges Braque, who is buried in the churchyard around the building.

The site attracts many visitors and can become crowded during peak times, especially in warmer months. It is wise to arrive early or visit during off-season for a quieter experience.

Inside stands a polygonal pillar carved with scallop shells and human faces between the two naves. This ornate decoration reveals the craftsmanship and artistic care invested in medieval details.
