Notre-Dame du Cap Lihou Church, Granville

This granite church crowns the Pointe du Roc in Granville's fortified upper town, with origins tracing to 1113 when fishermen reportedly found a Virgin Mary statue in their nets. The current structure was begun in 1440 by English forces using stone shipped from the Chausey Islands and evolved over four centuries, blending Flamboyant Gothic with later additions. Inside, visitors can admire classified 18th-century paintings, a 17th-century organ with 2,500 pipes, and modern stained glass windows by master artist Jacques Le Chevallier (1954-1978), replacing originals destroyed in 1944.
