The temple will be open from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm for a free visit. From 3pm to 4pm there will be a conference "Protestantism of Bessin, 1685-1787: from Revocation to Tolerance".
The revocation of the Edict of Nantes was a shock wave in the provinces where Catholics and Reformed coexisted, and especially in Normandy where for more than a century civil and religious peace reigned. We will see how the Norman protesters (and more particularly the old Generality of Caen) reacted to this revocation, adapted and ultimately helped to spread the idea of civil tolerance.
Some historical pieces will be presented on this occasion.
This conference is the second of the cycle on Norman Protestantism organized at the temple of Courseulles (in 2021, "The Protestants of the Shores")

It is since 1564 that the Protestant Reformed Church, now United Church, is present in COURSEULLES sur MER Celebrated in the seventeenth and eighteenth century in the houses and castles around, the Protestant cult settles definitively in 1822 in this «new» temple, built, in a lot leading to the «marsh». Its interior surface is 64 m2; it is mounted in earth-jointed CAEN stone. Its architecture, typically eighteenth is simple but pleasant with its fittings of carved stone. Solid in spite of its earthen walls, it is strongly shaken on June 6, 1944 (it was then 122 years old) by a mortar shell that crosses the roof, shakes its walls and bruises its frame. The Anglican cult was briefly repaired by British soldiers (who replaced the disappeared ceiling with the bilge ceiling of a stranded ship) and was celebrated there for a few weeks. This ceiling, in very poor condition after more than 80 years of use, is replaced in 2020.
