Caen is home to two architectural landmarks left by William of Normandy (future William the Conqueror): the Abbaye-aux-Hommes (Men's Abbey), or Saint-Étienne de Caen Abbey, and the Abbaye-aux-Dames (Ladies' Abbey). Consecrated in 1066, the Abbaye-aux-Hommes was chosen as the place of burial of William the Conqueror, who became King of England the same year. The chapter house is now the setting for civil weddings. It served as a refectory for monks who lived richly surrounded by woodworks and religious paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. During the French Revolution, the room welcomed a courthouse.
