Basilique Notre-Dame de Brebières, Byzantine Revival minor basilica in Albert, France

The Basilique Notre-Dame de Brebières is a red-brick church with pale stone trim in Albert, northern France, built in a Neo-Byzantine style. Its square bell tower rises behind the facade in bands of alternating red and white, pierced by two rows of narrow arched openings. The main facade has a peaked gable with a circular stone medallion and a large round-arched portal framing a mosaic panel. Inside, a domed apse holds a mosaic of figures in blue, red and gold above the main altar.

Construction began in 1885 under architect Edmond Duthoit, and Pope Leo XIII raised it to the rank of minor basilica shortly after. The church was heavily damaged during World War I and was fully rebuilt and reconsecrated in the 1920s.

The name Brebières refers to a statue of the Virgin known as Our Lady of the Ewes, said to have been found by a shepherd in the Middle Ages; pilgrims came to the site from the 11th and 12th centuries. Pope Leo XIII, seeing the golden Virgin, called the basilica the "Lourdes of the North". On 1 July 2016 the American soprano Barbara Hendricks gave a Peace Concert here with the Orchestre de Picardie for the Somme centenary.

The basilica is open regularly and can be visited both during services and at other times of day. Arriving outside of main service hours gives visitors more space to walk around and take in the interior at their own pace.

During World War I, a shell strike left the golden Virgin statue dangling sideways from the top of the tower without falling to the ground. British and Australian soldiers who could see it from the front lines gave it the nickname 'the Leaning Virgin' and used it as a landmark in the landscape of the battlefield.
