Abbatiale Saint-Pierre d'Orbais, Gothic church in Orbais-l'Abbaye, France

The Saint-Pierre church features a 38-meter-long nave with stone vaults, two preserved bays, and a facade with twin towers.

Jean d'Orbais, who also designed parts of Reims Cathedral, constructed this religious building between the late 12th and early 13th centuries.

The interior holds stained glass windows from the 12th century, 14th-century funeral slabs, and a 16th-century baptismal font.

The church requires substantial restoration work, with ongoing fundraising efforts reaching 174,027 euros toward preservation projects.

The partial collapse of the church's nave in 1651 reduced the structure to half its original size, yet maintained its 21-meter height.
