Église Saint-Gilles d'Étampes
Église Saint-Gilles d'Étampes, Romanesque church in Étampes, France.
The church features three naves in a Latin cross layout, constructed with sandstone and limestone materials, displaying rounded arches throughout its structure.
The initial construction of Saint-Gilles Church began in 1123 during the establishment of the wheat market area by King Louis VI of France.
The nave ceiling contains frescoes from 1596 depicting King Louis IX, Saint Michael, Saint John the Baptist, and other religious figures.
The church stands in the center of Saint-Gilles Square, several hundred meters from downtown Étampes, near the former National Route 20.
The sandstone blocks used in construction display yellow and tawny hues due to their high iron oxide content.
