Église Notre-Dame, Romanesque church in Besançon, France.
The Notre-Dame church features a Gothic flamboyant portal from 1525 and a facade designed by architect Jean-Pierre Galezot in 1720.
Founded between 1080 and 1085 by Archbishop Hugh II of Montfaucon, the church initially served as the abbey church of the Benedictine Saint Vincent monastery.
The nave contains a frieze painted by Joseph Aubert between 1892 and 1911, displaying more than one hundred historical figures.
Located on Mégevand Street in the Boucle district, the church remains an active place of worship while welcoming visitors throughout the year.
The bell tower, built in the 16th century, ranked among the tallest structures in Besançon during its early period.
