Basilique Notre-Dame de l'Épine
Basilique Notre-Dame de l'Épine, Gothic basilica in Évron, France.
The Notre-Dame de l'Épine Basilica features three entrance portals and two spires, with the right spire reaching a height of 55 meters.
Construction of this basilica began in 1406 and continued until 1527, before being classified as a historical monument in 1840.
The 15th-century rood screen houses a venerated statue of the Virgin and Child, which has been a focal point for pilgrimages since medieval times.
Visitors can explore the interior of the basilica daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available upon reservation.
Beneath the basilica's organ lies a 26-meter-deep well, which local tradition associates with special properties.
