The ruins of the church of Saint-Aubin in Houlgate

Located in the cemetery of Houlgate, this ancient Catholic church in ruins was rededicated to Saint Antoine. Originally dedicated to Saint Aubin, it was later dedicated to Saint Antoine. A fountain dedicated to Saint Antoine, with a related pilgrimage, was once situated below the building. Works were carried out on the north wall of the nave in the 15th century.

The city of Houlgate developed during the mid-19th century, and a new neo-Gothic church was inaugurated in 1878, with the bell tower completed some years later. The ruins are inscribed as a historic monument since 1948. The building is constructed of limestone, and the interior once featured a choir vault covered with plaster while the nave had wainscoting.

Portions of the porch remain, featuring a Gothic arch and a vaulted gallery with flamboyant stone compartments. The entrance is flanked by two turrets, each bearing a small coat of arms with three fleurs-de-lis. Inside, a statue of Saint Aubin from the 15th century and an altarpiece with two twisted columns from the manor of Beuzeval were noted in historical records.
