The Church of Saint-Pierre is a Roman Catholic church located on the Place Saint Pierre in the center of Caen in Normandy, northern France. It is dedicated to Saint Peter. The construction of the present building took place between the early 13th and the 16th centuries. The spire was destroyed on the 9th July 1944, by a single 16 Inch shell, one of a fifteen-round salvo from the Royal Navy battleship HMS Rodney aimed at the 12th SS Panzer Division and has since been rebuilt.

The Church of Saint-Étienne-le-Vieux is a former church, today in part ruined, located in the old city center of Caen. It must not be confused with the Church of Saint-Étienne de Caen located nearby. The church was probably founded during the 10th century when the city of Caen began its first significant growth.
In 1944, it is hit by a shell aimed a column of German tanks which was parked in the vicinity. The Nave was in large part destroyed. Since this date, the Church has not been the object of restoration work. Its state of conservation is therefore not opened to the public
