Saint-Siméon Chapel (ruins), Omaha Beach
Highlight • Religious Site
Limestone building was built in the 13th or 14th century. It was rebuilt in the 19th century.
The chapel is mentioned in the book Pelut de Bayeux under the name
from “capella sancti simeones”.
The chapel was a place of pilgrimage until it was damaged during the landings in June 1944. Below, on the cliffside, the Saint-Siméon fountain has no longer been accessible since 1960. Until the Second World War, the faithful came to the chapel to implore Saint Simeon for healing from “fevers”: malaria called “trembling fever”, Malta fever, etc. The sick went to drink the water from the fountain, or even soaked their cloths in it. We also bathed rickety children there. The statue of Saint Simeon is preserved today.
in the church of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes and continues to be the object of practices
of pilgrimage.

Church of Our Lady of the Assumption
Highlight • Other
The reconstruction of the church was carried out from 1946 to 1951, which allowed it to regain its pre-war appearance.
Romanesque art: it is characterized by the stone vault. The columns supporting the arches are cylindrical, topped with capitals often carved with animals or plants, or more or less geometric symbols. Period from 1030 to the middle of the 12th century.
Located to the north of the choir, the chapel was built later in the 15th century.
The sacristy, for its part, was built in the 19th century.
Notre Dame de l’Assomption will be classified as a Historic Monument in 1840.
The church tower is made up of six floors on the front and five on the other sides.
We can also appreciate the pretty round turret which houses the staircase located at the end of the bell tower.
There is also a sundial.
Two openings are made on the top floor of the tower. This Romanesque tower is one of the most remarkable in the department, only the pyramidal roof with the dormer windows is later (15th century).
