Basilique Sainte-Trinité de Cherbourg, Gothic basilica in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, France
The Sainte-Trinité Basilica stands with its 26-meter-high square tower and presents Gothic architectural elements throughout its stone structure.
The original church from 435 was destroyed in 841 during Norman invasions, leading William the Conqueror to order construction of a new building.
The nave gallery displays medieval sculptures depicting a dance of death on one side and scenes from the Passion of Christ on the other.
Located at Place Napoleon in central Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, the basilica welcomes visitors daily between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
The limestone baptismal fonts from the 14th century maintain their original polychrome paint, demonstrating medieval craftsmanship techniques.
