    The former Benedictine abbey with the monastery church of Saint-Étienne was founded by William the Conqueror in Caen, built from 1060 onwards, but probably not completed until after 1090. From 1120/25 onwards, six-part cross-ribbed vaults were installed in the originally flat-roofed building, which are among the oldest in France.

      Here William the Conqueror is buried, in the 11th-century abbey church.

        11th Century Abbey Church where William the Conqueror is buried. Definitely worth seeing.
