Saturday, July 11, 2009
Abbaye aux HommesThe Abbaye aux Hommes is situated in the French city of Caen. It is a former abbey church that was dedicated to Saint Etienne. It was founded by William the Conqueror in 1066 as penance for marrying Matilda of Flanders against the Pope's ruling. On the left of the abbey you can see the town hall of Caen that is build against it.
