Saint Joseph Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

In 1870, Armand Leclerc, a merchant in Rouen, aimed to build not a holiday home but a large hotel, facing the sea. Inaugurated in 1879, four years later he added a private roadside chapel. Its architecture, combining brick and limestone, brings it closer to the Saint-Aubin church in Houlgate, inaugurated in 1878.
The chapel was restored in 1945 and found new stained glass windows in 1948. They are made by Georges-Pierre SAGOT. Master Glass Painter in Bayeux, born in Roubaix on June 12, 1898 and died in Bayeux on May 11, 1975. The “flamboyant” stained glass windows of the nave and choir are remarkable. Their red, orange and purple hues are particularly original. They take up the theme of the “Beatitudes”.

Saint Peter's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint-Pierre Church of Bréville-les-Monts is a former Catholic church which was unfortunately destroyed during the Battle of Normandy on June 12, 1944, and whose ruins remain in the commune's cemetery. The Germans used the building as an ammunition depot. A new church was built in 1960 next to the old ruins. The original structure had a modern nave and tower, with the chancel dating from the 15th century or earlier.

Merville Battery

Highlight • Historical Site

The Merville Battery was built as part of the "Atlantic Wall" defenses by the German army during World War II. It's a fascinating place to visit, with plenty of vehicles, artillery, planes and bunkers to explore.
