Église Notre-Dame de Douai, Gothic church in Douai, France.

The Notre-Dame Church features sandstone and brick construction, with a wooden vault ceiling covering the nave and modern stained glass windows in the choir.

Built on a 12th-century chapel site, the church underwent modifications between the 13th and 15th centuries, with substantial reconstruction following the 1944 bombing damage.

The church houses a Muhleisen organ with two keyboards, pedals, and 29 stops, consisting of approximately 2000 pipes maintained by organist Denis Tchorek.

The church interior includes a nave from the 13th century, a 15th-century wooden vault, and 17th-century sculptural elements in the transept and choir.

The choir section displays an intentional offset from the transept, reflecting the medieval architectural principle that divine perfection cannot be replicated by humans.
