Church of Saint Patrick, Bayeux

This parish church traces its origins to the 5th century and is named after Saint Patrick, who according to tradition stopped in Bayeux while traveling through France. The most striking feature is the seven-story Renaissance bell tower built between 1544-1548, standing 31 meters tall and representing the only Renaissance-era monument in Bayeux. The current building combines multiple architectural styles: the Renaissance tower, a Classical choir reconstructed in 1747, and a neo-Gothic nave rebuilt in 1863.
