Coutances Cathedral, with its towers and stone spires, towers majestically above the city, was rebuilt in the 13th century. Nevertheless, the Romanesque structure of the nave and the towers of the facade were retained and form the basic framework of the present cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture in Normandy. The building owes its fame to its outstanding elegance, the boldness of its lantern tower (the most beautiful in Normandy), and its magnificent medieval stained-glass windows (the largest surviving 13th-century stained-glass windows in Normandy).

The commune of Pont de la Roque was the subject of a first Allied bombing on April 23, 1944. The bombers targeted the stone bridge built over the coastal river of Siena. Nearly 20 air raids were launched to destroy this bridge and it was not until mid-June that three of the eleven arches were destroyed by bombs.

Bishop Geoffroy de Montbray, one of the great monk-knights Duke William gathered around him before he left for England, completed the first nave of the cathedral in 1056. He then built with poison from the sons of Tancred de Hauteville who had just built their Mediterranean adventure had begun, the choir, the transept, the central tower and the facade flanked by two octagonal towers. Due to its harmonious proportions and clean lines, the cathedral is known as "the jewel of Gothic architecture in Normandy. Visitors entering Courtances from the south have the best view of the cathedral, which miraculously survived the bombings. The harmonious proportions and simplicity of the Norman style are nothing short of impressive.
