Barneville-Carteret - Saint-Germain

"Saint-Germain" once belonged to the Grestain Abbey ("Abbaye de Grestain"). It was built in the mid-twelfth century in the center of Barneville-sur-Mer, now part of Barneville-Carteret. During the Hundred Years' War it got fortified, what did not avoid damage.

The nave, with its arches and many carvings, is still Romanesque.

Here is the baptism of Jesus in the river Jordan. Jesus (cross-nimbus) is very tall compared to John the Baptist. Angels, holding towels, flank the scene.
