Collégiale Notre-Dame of Poissy, Historical Catholic church in Poissy, France

The Notre Dame Collegiate Church features two octagonal Romanesque towers, stone gargoyles overlooking a 15th-century porch, and decorated tympanums depicting biblical scenes.

King Louis IX, later known as Saint Louis, received baptism in this church in 1214, with the original baptismal fonts remaining visible to this day.

The church interior contains medieval column capitals displaying Romanesque imagery, including fantastical creatures and botanical patterns crafted around 1150.

Located at 8 Rue de l'Église in Poissy, the church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM without requiring an entrance fee.

The choir section of the church faces the sunrise on August 15th, the day of dedication to Our Lady of the Assumption, creating a misalignment with the nave.
