Collégiale Notre-Dame de Vitry-le-François, Baroque church in Place d'Armes, Vitry-le-François, France

The Collégiale Notre-Dame features two prominent towers on its facade and displays classical interior design with gilded wooden angels surrounding the choir.

Construction of the Collégiale Notre-Dame began in 1629 and continued until 1898, making it the largest religious edifice in northeastern France.

The church contains numerous classified furnishings, including organs from Trois-Fontaines Abbey and a master altar dating from 1716.
