The cathedral of Bayeux

Notre Dame in Baueux is a beautiful medieval cathedral built in both Romanesque and Gothic style (depending on what part of the church you're looking at).

 

But the central tower here is actually 19th century. Well, the lower part of it is properly medieval, but that got renovated and a second level was added in 1866 and the whole tower was given that 'more-medieval-than-the-Middle-Ages'-look typical of the Neo-Gothic style (but not necessarily in a bad way).
