Basse Oeuvre, Carolingian church in Beauvais, France
The church features three naves and six bays with square pillars in the north and octagonal ones in the south, reaching 17 meters in height.
Founded in 901, Basse Oeuvre represents early medieval architecture with walls constructed using small regular stones and reused Gallo-Roman bricks.
The structure maintains its role as an active religious center while representing a significant example of Carolingian architectural heritage in northern France.
The church stands next to the Gothic cathedral of Beauvais, allowing visitors to observe the architectural evolution between different construction periods.
Archaeological excavations between 1965 and 1985 revealed pre-Romanesque auxiliary buildings near the church foundations.
