Abbatiale St-Ouen

A rare and atmospheric example of a medieval charnel house that was built in the 16th century to cope with victims of the plague. The half-timbered buildings surrounding a central courtyard are decorated with macabre carvings of skulls, bones, and tools of death. Once an ossuary and later a school of fine arts, it now houses exhibitions and a café.

Museum and audio visual presentation of Joan of Arc, sells itself as "not like a traditional museum".

A museum about ironwork, which was founded in 1920, in a church from the 11th century.

A stunning building that dates back to the 4th century and is a wonderful mixture of various architectural styles since then. A new spire built in the 19th century meant that it briefly qualified as the tallest building in the world. The façade of the cathedral was famously painted by Claude Monet at various times during the day - like his Haystacks series of paintings - capturing the subject in a variety of lights. In the summer after dark the city puts on a light show projecting some of Monet's cathedral paintings onto the façade of the cathedral itself, each showing lasts approximately 10 minutes and runs until about midnight.

It was founded in 1801 by Napoleon, and has paintings by Monet, Caravaggio, Robert Antoine Pinchon and others.

A theatre founded in 1985, with a capacity of 208.
