    The Church of Saint-Aubin, overlooking the Oudon Valley, is a Catholic church dating from the late 10th or early 11th century. It stands in the commune of Vieux-Pont-en-Auge, in the Calvados department of Normandy. The church is listed as a historical monument. Dating probably from the late 10th century, according to Arcisse de Caumont, or from the early 11th century, the church is one of the oldest in Normandy. The rubble walls, set in thick mortar with horizontal courses of flat bricks, are characteristic of the architecture of that period. The bell tower was built after the chancel but dates from roughly the same period as the nave, that is, the 11th century.
