Église Notre-Dame de Montferrand, Medieval Gothic church in Montferrand district, Clermont-Ferrand, France.

The Notre-Dame-de-Prosperite church features a single nave ending in a three-sided apse, flanked by side chapels and a remaining bell tower.

The parish church construction began in 1340 following residents' requests for an inner-city religious building during the Hundred Years War period.

The church contains furniture and artifacts collected from various religious buildings that were demolished during the French Revolution of 1789.

Located at 6 rue Notre-Dame in Clermont-Ferrand, the church welcomes visitors daily between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM throughout the year.

A clock carved directly into the rock of the bell tower during the 16th century remains a remarkable feature of this historical monument.
