Église Saint-Taurin d'Évreux, Romanesque church in Évreux, France

The Saint-Taurin Church features a combination of Romanesque elements, asymmetrical nave elevations, and decorative stone carvings along its southern portal.

Originally constructed in the 10th century as part of an abbey, the church underwent architectural modifications between the 13th and 18th centuries.

The church contains a 13th-century shrine commissioned by Abbot Gilbert de Saint-Martin, displaying detailed metalwork that illustrates scenes from Saint Taurin's life.

The monument remains accessible for visits throughout the year, with guided tours focusing on the architectural and historical aspects of the building.

The church structure presents an unusual asymmetry between its northern and southern elevations, resulting from different construction periods and techniques.
