Saint-Maclou Church, Rouen

The church is undergoing several phases of destruction and then reconstruction. It was demolished in 1203, before being rebuilt in 1210, and was in a state of ruin in the 10th century, until it was rebuilt in 1436. The spire is in turn destroyed in 1735, before being rebuilt in the 19th century. Finally, the bombings of 1944 did not spare the choir, which was hit.

About this building

The building has an elongated and oriented plan, with a polygonal apse with apse chapels. A porch precedes the western façade, with five pointed arched bays. A lantern tower is present, serving as a bell tower.
