Origin and history

Saint-Germain de Cagny Church is a Catholic church located in the village of Cagny, Calvados department, Normandy. Built in the 14th century, it features a choir and a bell tower in a building, initially positioned in the centre of the building. These elements, preserved despite the destructions, bear witness to its original medieval architecture.

The nave of the church was destroyed during the 1944 bombings during World War II. It was later the subject of modern reconstruction, contrasting with the old parts. The choir, for its part, was classified as historic monuments on 22 October 1913, highlighting its heritage value.

The bell tower is a typical example of Norman religious architecture. Although the monument underwent major changes in the 20th century, its choir and bell tower remain significant remains of its medieval history. The church now belongs to the municipality of Cagny and is located on the 12 Route de Paris.
