Abbatiale Notre Dame de Bernay

 

 

 

So Simply and So Marvellously Romanesque.
During the 150 years that followed the French Revolution, the abbey church, founded by Judith of Brittany, suffered numerous ravages.
One of the transept arms was destroyed so that a street could pass through, and the "authentic" apse had to be rebuilt after the church was classified as a historic monument in 1962.
