Saint-Germain Church, Courseulles-sur-Mer

This 18th-century baroque church was built in 1786 under the initiative of Abbé François Marest, replacing an earlier church destroyed by storm and fire. The building features a Latin cross plan with coffered ceilings depicting local history, and houses notable artworks including a 17th-century Virgin Mary statue and a 16th-century Saint Peter statue. During D-Day on June 6, 1944, Canadian soldiers of the Queen's Own Rifles used the church steeple as a landmark for their landing at Juno Beach.
