BAYERN. See BAVARIA. buildings, BAYEUX (bi-ë'), an ancient city of Normandy, in the French department of Calvados, on the Aure, 15 miles N. W. of Caen. Many of the houses are built of wood, and the streets have a forlorn and decayed appearance. The Gothic cathedral-the oldest, it is said, in Normandy -was rebuilt after a fire by William the Conqueror, in 1077; but the present edifice dates mainly from 1106 to the 13th century. The W. front, with its two 12th century steeples, and the three sculptured porches, are notable features. Porcelain and lace are manufactured.
