Rouen's Religious Heritage

Rouen’s religious landscape is defined by its architectural variety, ranging from the grand Flamboyant Gothic facade of Saint-Maclou to the massive proportions of the former Saint-Ouen Abbey. The collection includes the Archiepiscopal Palace, residence of the Primate of Normandy, and the unique 20th-century reinforced concrete structure of Saint-Nicaise. These sites, along with several monastic chapels and the stained-glass-rich Saint-Godard, illustrate the city's evolution from a medieval spiritual center to a hub of modern ecclesiastical design.
