    Bishop Geoffroy de Montbray, one of the great monk-knights Duke William gathered around him before he left for England, completed the first nave of the cathedral in 1056. He then built with poison from the sons of Tancred de Hauteville who had just built their Mediterranean adventure had begun, the choir, the transept, the central tower and the facade flanked by two octagonal towers. Due to its harmonious proportions and clean lines, the cathedral is known as "the jewel of Gothic architecture in Normandy.

    Visitors entering Courtances from the south have the best view of the cathedral, which miraculously survived the bombings. The harmonious proportions and simplicity of the Norman style are nothing short of impressive.
