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.

The religious buildings of Clermont-Ferrand and the surrounding area document the development of French ecclesiastical architecture from the Middle Ages through the modern period. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption in the city center was built from the black volcanic stone of the region, a material that gives it a distinctive appearance. The Romanesque Basilica of Notre-Dame-du-Port holds UNESCO World Heritage status and preserves 12th-century capitals. In nearby towns stand additional churches and abbeys, including the Abbatiale Saint-Austremoine in Issoire with its Romanesque frescoes and the Église Notre-Dame-du-Marthuret in Riom with a 14th-century polychrome statue of the Virgin. The collection also includes Gothic and Baroque structures such as the Église Saint-Pierre-des-Minimes and the Chapelle des Cordeliers in Clermont-Ferrand. The Collégiale Saint-Victor et Sainte-Couronne in Ennezat combines Romanesque and Gothic elements. These buildings contain stained glass windows, sculptures, and liturgical furnishings from various periods. The churches are located in the historic centers of their respective towns and are accessible to visitors during opening hours.
