Church of Sainte-Radegonde de Giverny

This 11th-century Romanesque church is one of the rare surviving examples of its kind in Normandy, featuring an original semicircular apse with distinctive half-dome vaulting and medieval corbels depicting grotesque figures. The building was significantly modified during the 15th and 16th centuries, adding Renaissance and Flamboyant Gothic side aisles with elegant mullioned windows. Most notably, this is the final resting place of Claude Monet, who lived in Giverny for 43 years until his death in 1926 and was married in this very church. The interior houses remarkable 15th-century statuary including a Virgin and Child in stone, along with a 17th-century painted wooden altar depicting the Transfiguration of Jesus. Note that the church interior has very limited opening hours, typically accessible only during occasional masses or summer concerts, though the surrounding cemetery with Monet's family tomb can always be visited. Combining this peaceful site with a visit to Monet's famous house and gardens creates a complete Giverny experience.
