Collégiale Saint-Frambourg de Senlis
Collégiale Saint-Frambourg de Senlis, Royal Gothic church in Senlis, France.
The Saint-Frambourg collegiate church is a Gothic structure with a single nave stretching about 46 meters (150 feet), illuminated by tall lancet windows throughout its length. The interior space is defined by sexpartite vaults that create a soaring and unified visual effect.
Queen Adelaide founded the church in 993 to commemorate Hugh Capet's election as king. The building underwent major reconstruction in 1169, which shaped the Gothic form we see today.
The church serves as a concert venue and cultural space today, hosting musical performances and exhibitions that draw visitors interested in both art and architecture. This contemporary role has given the building a living purpose beyond its original religious function.
The building is typically open for concerts, exhibitions, and special events held on designated weekends and days. Check the current schedule before visiting to ensure you can see the interior during your time in Senlis.
Excavations beneath the church uncovered a Gallo-Roman tower from ancient times that was incorporated directly into the choir's construction. This merger of periods shows how medieval builders made use of earlier Roman foundations.
