Church of Saint-Vaast, Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue

This neo-Gothic church was built between 1851 and 1861 in Caen stone, replacing an earlier 11th-century church that had become too small. The building imitates 13th-century Gothic architecture but lacks a bell tower, an unusual feature for a French parish church. Inside, 64 stained glass windows by master glassmaker Charles Lorin of Chartres illuminate the nave, installed between 1897 and 1937.
