Église de la Madeleine de Montargis

The church features three vessels, lateral chapels, asymmetrical transepts, and a tall choir designed in a hall-church style with Renaissance elements.

Construction began in 1183 as a secondary church, later becoming the main parish church in 1377 after significant expansion of the structure.

The building contains 42 stained glass windows, with 34 crafted by the Lobin workshop between 1859 and 1873, displaying local historical scenes.

The church entrance is located on a narrow western street, while the Renaissance chevet faces Place Mirabeau for better visibility.

A distinctive stained glass window depicts Saint Francis Xavier converting Japanese people, drawing attention from Japanese media and researchers.
