Église Notre-Dame de Niort, Gothic church in Niort, France.

The Notre-Dame church exhibits a northern portal that combines Italian flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance styles with detailed stone ornaments and sculptures.

Construction started on May 26, 1491, and finished in 1534, replacing an earlier Romanesque structure with subsequent modifications during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

The church houses several chapels, including one dedicated to blessed martyrs who refused to sign the Civil Constitution during the French Revolution.

Located at Parvis Notre-Dame in Niort, the church welcomes visitors daily and offers guided tours by contacting +33 5 49 24 18 79.

The 75-meter-high spire features sculptures of four evangelists at its base and remains the tallest structure in the Deux-Sèvres department.
