Saint-Valentin Church, Jumièges

Highlight • Religious Site

L'église est bâtie au XIIe siècle sur demande de l'Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Jumièges.
Une réfection est entreprise au XVIe siècle, dont le chœur rebâti en style Renaissance, mais inachevée. L'église est église paroissiale après la Révolution française.
L'édifice est classé au titre des monuments historiques le 15 Mars 1918.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Saint-Valentin_de_Jumi%C3%A8ges

"The church was built in the 12th century at the request of the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Jumièges.
A renovation was carried out in the 16th century, including the choir, which was rebuilt in Renaissance style but was unfinished. The church is a parish church after the French Revolution.
The building was classified as a historic monument in 1918."

The church is in the middle of the cemetery and must have been planned to be much larger. The different architectural styles and the wooden tower in the middle are exciting.

It also goes a few meters away from the Seine, less stupidly. Very good streets and paths!

Jumièges Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery's origins date back to 645. The Vikings burned it down in 841. Over time, however, it became one of the most influential monasteries in France. Until the French Revolution brought an end to this power and also to the monastery itself.
Mainly remains of the two impressive churches have been preserved. But the gatehouse, the new apartment and the bakery are also still in the extensive park.

Please note the opening times when visiting. We were surprised by the lunch break from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Jumièges Abbey is often called the "most beautiful ruin in France". Indeed, its white towers almost 50 meters high are impressive.

The old Benedictine monastery was built at the end of the 8th century and destroyed in the 19th century. It is of archaeological as well as tourist interest.
