Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it plays with the transition of styles: radiant and flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance. It has a magnificent 14th century bell tower, almost 80 m high, which is currently being restored. Particularly worth seeing are the vault of the choir, the chapels of the ambulatory in late Gothic style and the carved capitals of the third pillar of the nave on the north side, which depict four scenes from chivalric romances and satirical writings of the Middle Ages. J.F. Dupont organ, built in 1997.

Caen, first mentioned in documents in 1027, experienced rapid urban development in the 11th century. It was called a burgus (bourg), was the centre of an extensive ducal domain, lay at the crossroads of important roads and had markets and a port. It first developed as an important city in the Duchy of Normandy under William the Conqueror. He had a strong fortress built in Caen and around 1059 an abbey for women (Abbaye aux dames) and one for men (Abbaye aux hommes), in which he was also buried. Later, during the Huguenot Wars (1562), his grave was destroyed and his bones were lost. William's gravestone can still be seen in the church today. He had the monasteries built to atone for his marriage to his cousin Mathilde, which was disapproved of by the Pope. Both monasteries are among the most important monuments in Normandy and are today – by the monks and nuns during the French Revolution
