Basilique Notre-Dame de Brebières
Basilique Notre-Dame de Brebières, Byzantine Revival minor basilica in Albert, France
The Basilique Notre-Dame de Brebières features a 76-meter-high dome crowned by the Golden Virgin statue designed by sculptor Albert Roze.
Construction of the basilica began in 1885 under architect Edmond Duthoit, and Pope Leo XIII consecrated the building as a minor basilica in 1901.
The basilica houses numerous artistic elements, including stained glass windows by Jacques Grüber and murals painted by Victor-Ferdinand Bourgeois.
The religious monument opens its doors for regular services, while guided tours provide information about the architecture and reconstruction after World War I.
The basilica stands above the Ancre river, requiring concrete reinforcement extending twenty-seven meters beneath the choir section of the structure.
