France - Évreux, Cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Évreux

Cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Évreux (Cathedral of Our Lady of Évreux) is an impressive church combining all the main trends of religious architecture. Built in the 10th century, the nave has kept the semi-circular arcades from the Romanesque period while the upper parts were rebuilt in the 13th century in the Gothic style with the transept and the choir.

Évreux Cathedral is crowned by three distinctive towers. The north tower houses the cathedral's five bells. The south tower, originally topped with an octagonal wooden spire, was not rebuilt after being destroyed in a fire in 1940. The most prominent feature, however, is the central lantern tower, known as the silver bell tower due to its shimmering appearance.

The cathedral has 70 stained-glass windows considered as masterpieces of French 13th to 16th century stained-glass art and the 13 radiating chapels enclosed with wood fences sculpted between the 15th and the 18th centuries, which are among the most beautiful ones in France.
