Description: The church of Saint-Aubin of the former municipality (commune) of Saint-Aubin-sur-Auquainville (Calvados, Normandy, France). The church was decommissioned when Saint-Aubin-sur-Auquainville was incorporated into the commune of Auquainville in 1831 and was then used as a burial chapel by the Custine family. The choir with a flat apse indicates the building is from the late Middle Ages. It has a single nave and tower sitting on the western gable. The windows and door have without doubt been re-engineered in the 18th century. Inside, the building has retained all of its former layout. The entire church is listed as a Historic Monument.
