Moyaux (Canton of Lisieux, Calvados) Church of Saint-Germain

   The church of Saint-Germain in Moyaux is a former dependency of the abbey of Bernay. It originally consisted of a single nave extended by a choir with a flat chevet and a tower built onto the south wall between the nave and the choir. Two chapels were added during the 16^th century to the north wall opposite the tower. The south wall of the church has been retained from the Romanesque period, with its two walled-up doors and traces of fish bone bonding, as well as the tower. The square plan tower is on three levels. This dates from the mid-11^th century, with the exception of its cornice from the end of the 12^th century and its spire.
