Église Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais de Bessancourt

The Église Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais features intricate window tracery, high pointed arches, and a cruciform layout with a four-bay nave and side aisles.

The construction of the church began in the mid-13th century after Blanche de Castille granted Bessancourt to Maubuisson Abbey, with later additions in the 16th century.

The church houses five classified artifacts, including a 14th-century wooden Madonna and Child statue and an early 16th-century sculptural group of Saint Anne.

Located at 77-79 Grande Rue in Bessancourt, the church holds services on Sundays at 9:30 AM and Tuesdays at 9 AM, except during summer periods.

The bell tower contains three bells named Julia-Joséphine, Pauline, and Aglaé, which have operated automatically since 1959 through an electric system.
