Saint Nicholas Church, Catholic church in Barfleur, France.
The Saint Nicholas Church features a massive square tower topped with a granite platform and contains stained glass windows created by Charles Lorin in 1892.
The construction of the church extended over 223 years, from 1637 to 1844, with interruptions due to financial constraints and various architectural modifications.
The church holds numerous religious artifacts, including a 16th-century Flemish painting of the Visitation and statues of saints throughout the interior.
The church maintains its position as an active religious center, surrounded by a maritime cemetery established directly on the rocky coastline.
Future Pope John XXIII, then Monsignor Roncalli, celebrated mass in this church on July 20, 1946, marking the centennial of Marie-Madeleine Postel's death.
