Église Saint-Romain de Rouen, Baroque church in Rouen, France.

The Saint-Romain church features a north-south orientation with a Greek cross layout and a barrel-vaulted nave topped by a central dome.

Built between 1679 and 1729, the church replaced an earlier structure from 1643 and served as a convent church for the Discalced Carmelites until 1791.

The interior contains twenty-one Renaissance stained glass windows transferred from the Saint-Maur cemetery chapel and other local churches in the early 1800s.

The church accommodates religious services and contains the red marble tomb of Saint Romain, relocated from Saint-Godard church during the French Revolution.

The lead steeple, created by metalworker Ferdinand Marrou in 1877, replaced an earlier bell tower from 1806.
