Saint Stephen Church (Église Saint-Étienne), Fécamp

Église Saint-Étienne is a historic church overlooking Fécamp's harbor, known as "the sailors' church" for its deep connection to the town's maritime community. The church's origins date back over a millennium, with its first documented mention in 1017-1025, though it was largely rebuilt in 1506 under Abbot Antoine Bohier. After a devastating fire in 1563 destroyed most of the structure, the church was renovated and later transformed during the 19th century when shipowners and sailors funded major improvements including a neo-Gothic bell tower designed by architect Camille Albert.
