Basilica ND de l’épine in Evron

The Basilica is an architectural jewel from the Middle Ages and combines Gothic and Romanesque styles which is why it is so charming. The origin of the Basilica’s construction is based on a legend that says a pilgrim who had returned from Jerusalem in the 7th century had witnessed a miracle. The miracle was what led to the creation of a Benedictine monastery. It was in the 10th century that the monks of Evron decided to build a Romanesque church.
