Abbaye de Saint-Sever-Calvados

Built during the XIIIth Century in granite and remodelled during the XIXth Century, the Abbey looks quite dumpy. The interior is very beautiful, despite the irregular layout of the nave (during the XVIth century the nave was split into two; a parish church and an abbatial church). Also to be seen: the lantern-light tower, its dome mounted on a cupola (smaller dome) with an entasis 100m high: a separate belfry remains in the old parish church.
