Notre-Dame-en-Vaux, Gothic collegiate church in Châlons-en-Champagne, France

The Notre-Dame-en-Vaux church displays four-level architecture with stone walls, pointed arches, and large windows that illuminate its interior spaces throughout the day.

The construction of Notre-Dame-en-Vaux began in 1157 and continued until 1217, incorporating both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements during its development period.

The church contains 56 bells in its carillon system, which rings every quarter hour and hosts musical concerts for the community throughout the year.

Visitors can explore the church daily from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM through self-guided tours or audio guides that detail the architectural and historical features.

Archaeological excavations in 1973 revealed remnants of a medieval cloister with decorated statue-columns, leading to the creation of the Musée du Cloître Notre-Dame.
