Église Saint-Éloi de Dunkerque, Gothic church in Dunkirk, France.
The Saint-Eloi Church features high vaulted ceilings, pointed arches, and stone columns that support the grand architectural structure throughout its interior spaces.
During Operation Dynamo in 1940, the church endured bombardments while serving as a navigation point for ships evacuating Allied soldiers from Dunkirk's beaches.
The church maintains regular services and religious ceremonies, connecting the local community through traditional Catholic practices and neighborhood gatherings.
Visitors can access the church through its main entrance on Place Charles Valentin, with guided tours available from Monday through Saturday between 9:00 and 17:00.
The church bells, cast in the 18th century, continue to mark the hours using an original mechanical system that requires weekly manual winding.
