Église Notre-Dame de Châteauroux

Église Notre-Dame de Châteauroux, Romanesque church in Châteauroux, France.

Église Notre-Dame de Châteauroux is a Neo-Romanesque church with a Latin-cross plan, three vessels, an ambulatory and radiating chapels, built of light grey stone with bands of reddish diamond-patterned masonry between the apse arches. An octagonal crossing tower rises as a dark-roofed dome topped by a small gilded statue, and a square tower with an octagonal spire stands at one side. The interior has three levels: great arcades, blind arcading and high windows, with many carved capitals.

Notre-Dame was built from 1877 and inaugurated in 1892, replacing the dilapidated Capuchin church demolished despite restorations by André Bisson. The parish council and residents of the Capuchin suburb obtained a new church on the site of the former Hôtel du Lion d'Argent, near the Porte Neuve on the southern ramparts. Alfred Dauvergne designed it in Neo-Romanesque style, influenced by Auvergne Romanesque polychromy; it was listed as a monument historique on 15 April 2009.

The church owes its existence to the conseil de fabrique and the residents of the faubourg des Capucins, who pushed for a new building as their old church decayed and the population grew. It was placed near the expanding quartier des Marins, on the site of the former hôtel du Lion d'Argent by the old Porte Poitevine. The 1882 stained glass is by the Oudinot workshop in Paris and the Lobin workshop in Tours.

The church is located in the city center and is easy to reach on foot from most parts of town. Parking facilities are available nearby for those arriving by car.

The building holds the designation Monument historique inscrit, which means it has received official recognition from the French government for protection. This listing ensures that any repairs or changes are carefully managed to preserve the architectural features for the future.
