Church of Saint Pierre

The Church of Saint Pierre is a Roman Catholic church situated on the Place Saint-Pierre in the focal point of Caen in Normandy, northern France. It is devoted to Saint Peter. Known as Saint-Pierre of Darnetal, Saint-Pierre-sous-Caen, Saint-Pierre-du-Chatel, Saint-Pierre-en-Rive, this congregation, frequently erroneously called by the sightseers "the house of God", as it was the biggest religious structure of Bourg-le-Roi; extraordinary consideration was in this manner given to its improvement.

The development of the present structure occurred between the mid 13th and the 16th century. It is in this congregation that amid the medieval times the fundamental open functions took place. For instance, when Henri IV repudiated the Protestant religion, putting a conclusion to religious wars, it was in St. Dwindle's Church that the Te Deum was sung within the sight of the common and religious agents of the entire city.

Until around the mid-19th century, the eastern end of the congregation confronted onto a channel that was then secured and supplanted by a street. Different specialists and etchers recorded this connection of the congregation to the trench; for example, the Scottish painter David Roberts made a few fundamentally the same as perspectives, one of which is in Musee des Beaux-Arts in the Chateau de Caen or Caen Castle. This congregation Building is the subject of an arrangement as authentic landmarks by the rundown of 1840.
