Église Saint-Étienne de Never, Romanesque church in Nevers, France.
The Saint-Etienne Church features a Latin cross plan with a nave of six bays, a projecting transept, and three radiating chapels around the apse.
Founded in 1063 when Saint-Sylvestre canons settled there, followed by Benedictine monks, the priory was established under the authority of Cluny Abbey until 1097.
The church houses two notable sculptures: a 14th-century Virgin statue known as Notre-Dame de la Colombe and a 15th-century marble statue of Saint John the Baptist.
The church reception office is located in the Ducal Palace of Nevers, with contact number 03.86.68.46.00 and elevator access for reduced mobility visitors.
The architectural design reaches 18 meters under a barrel vault, featuring direct lighting of the nave through vaulted galleries with half-barrels.
