Notre-Dame de Liesse, Gothic basilica in Liesse-Notre-Dame, France
The Notre-Dame de Liesse Basilica features a prominent 15th-century porch entrance, a wide bay window, and four naves with vaulted ceilings displaying Orleans dukes' coats of arms.
The basilica, initially constructed in 1134 by the Knights of Eppes, underwent expansions with a 13th-century choir and a 14th-century nave, which was enlarged in 1480.
French monarchs, including Louis XIII, Anne of Austria, and Louis XIV, made pilgrimages to this basilica seeking blessings for fertility and expressing gratitude.
The basilica maintains its status as a classified historical monument since 1920 and continues to function as an active religious center with regular mass services.
The chapel of Saint Louis contains a diorama depicting the story of three Eppes brothers and Princess Ismeria, connected to the Black Virgin statue's legend.
