gothic gargoyles in Dives-sur-Mer

The Church of Our Lady (l'église Notre-Dame) in Dives-sur-Mer, Normandy, France was originally built by the Normans in the romanesque style, but was extended and modified in the 14th century to create the Gothic building seen here.

 

Dives-sur-Mer is a town in Normandy, France, and was the point from which William the Conqueror set sail to invade England in 1066. Inside the church above the west door there is a panel listing William's companions who joined him on his conquest of England.
