Saint-Martin de Cailly Church
Of Norman Romanesque architecture, almost millennium, it is located on a slight promontory, outside the flood zones. It frames, with the medieval hill, the village that it dominates.
Its construction parallel to the Gallo-Roman road Rouen-Amiens and Arques-Radepont and therefore shifted 20° to the north, suggests an edification on an older building of which we have no traces.
It was, from the Middle Ages to the Revolution, the seat of one of the 8 deaneries of the Archdeaconey of Rouen gathering up to 50 parishes, an abbey and 12 chapels.
Its furniture comes in part from two disappeared churches, the Saint-Martin churches of the former parish of Gouville and Saint-Germain-sous-Cailly, destroyed during the 19th century because of their obsolescence.
It is the last witness of the rich local history.
