About Notre-Dame Cathedral of Bayeux
Bayeux Cathedral is an 11th-century Roman Catholic church that blends Romanesque and Gothic Norman architecture. Consecrated in 1077 by Bishop Odo de Conteville, half-brother of William the Conqueror, the cathedral originally housed the Bayeux Tapestry before it was moved to a dedicated museum. The building features two 70-meter western towers, ornate 16th-century choir stalls, and an 11th-century crypt with 15th-century frescoes of angel musicians.

The cathedral's crypt was lost for 200 years. Filled in and sealed during 13th-century choir construction, it was rediscovered in 1412 when workers attempted to bury a bishop. The excavation revealed 11th-century Romanesque pillars with Corinthian capitals, later decorated with 15th-century star-painted ceilings and angel frescoes by patron Gervais de Larchamp, whose tomb still occupies an elaborately painted recess.
