Cuverville

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Calvados

Small town of Calvados, in Normandy, Cuverville takes place at ten kilometers of Caen and its famous ducal castle. It is located in the heart of the plain of Caen, not far from Mondeville, Hérouvillette and Cagny.

Formerly a Gallo-Roman villa, the Norman city, formerly known as Culvert villa, Cuvervilla or Culvervilla, lives a relatively peaceful history until the end of the Second World War. The town was destroyed nearly 85% at this time, seeing 15% of its population killed or wounded by fighting and bombing. Released in July 1944, following the landing of June 6, she received the Croix de Guerre in 1948.

Despite its many destructions, the city continues to seduce visitors with its modest architectural heritage that bears witness to an ancient history.

Things to see and do

Listed as an historic monument, the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs church is a Romanesque religious building built in the 12th century, and then rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries. In particular, it reveals a Romanesque nave and a chapel added in the 16th century to serve as a burial place for local lords. Inside, it is possible to discover several tombstones, as well as a 17th century inscription partially erased by the throes of the French Revolution. Unfinished, the stone tower ends in a platform.

Private property that is unfortunately not visited, the Schoëffler castle is a manor that can however be admired from the outside.

Events and festivities

An attic fair is proposed in the course of May.

Each year at the end of March, the town offers in the Hall of Festivals and Culture an art exhibition organized by the association Forms and Colors of Cuverville.
