Église Saint-Nicaise de Rouen
Église Saint-Nicaise de Rouen, Gothic church in Saint-Marc district, Rouen, France
Description
Saint-Nicaise is a church in Rouen with a modern reinforced concrete structure built after wartime destruction. The interior features stained glass windows created by artist Max Ingrand during the reconstruction phase.
History
The building was founded in 640 by Saint Ouen as a chapel and gained parish status in 1388 under the administration of Saint-Ouen Abbey. The original structure suffered severe damage during warfare and required reconstruction.
Culture
The church houses religious relics of Saint Nicaise that were brought here from Gasny and hold spiritual importance for the community. Visitors can sense this connection through the way the space reflects these sacred traditions.
Practical
The church stands on Rue Saint-Nicaise and is accessible by bus lines F2, 15, and 22, with the closest stop at Saint-Vivien. Visitors should check current access conditions before planning a visit.
