Collégiale Saint-André, Collegiate church in Chartres, France
The Saint-André collegiate church stands on the banks of the Eure River, featuring a 12th-century Romanesque western facade without a tympanum.
Construction began around 960 on the site of a Gallo-Roman amphitheater, and Bishop Saint Yves elevated it to collegiate status in 1108.
The church portal displays expressive human heads on its column capitals, with Gothic windows topped by gargoyles similar to those on the cathedral tower.
The building now serves as an exhibition space for contemporary art as part of the Chemin des Arts program in Chartres.
The church choir once extended over two arches spanning the Eure River and an adjacent street, creating an architectural connection across the water.
