Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Rouen
Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Rouen, Minor basilica in Rouen, France.
The Basilique du Sacré-Coeur stands with a 55-meter tower and features elongated round-arched windows illuminating the narrow nave leading to a broad transept.
Construction of the basilica began in 1890 under architect Lucien Lefort, reaching completion in 1912, with official basilica status granted in 1918.
The interior displays numerous mosaics created by Albert Polart, including the portal tympanum, along with stained glass windows depicting Catholic iconography.
The basilica serves the western district of Rouen, providing religious services to local communities previously limited by distant church access.
The building follows an unconventional floor plan shaped by adjacent road patterns, resulting in a narrow nave that widens toward the choir.
