Museum of the Battle of Tilly-sur-Seulles 1944
Museums of the Normandy Landings and Battle
Housed in a former 13th-century chapel, listed as a Historic Monument, this museum focuses on the fighting between the British 30th Army Corps and German troops during the Battle of Tilly-sur-Seulles, from June 7 to 26, 1944. During this period, the Normandy village was captured and recaptured 23 times by the British.
Through several display cases and explanatory panels, visitors are presented with the various episodes of the German Occupation, the Allied bombing raids, and the ground fighting between the British and Germans, not forgetting to mention the fate of the region’s civilian population.
The self-guided tour is estimated at approximately 45 minutes. Guided tours of one or two hours for groups are available upon reservation.
