Église Saint-Jacques, Gothic church in Lisieux, France.

This church features three naves of equal length supported by two rows of cylindrical columns, constructed on a slope with elevated front steps.

The construction began in 1448 under architect Guillemot de Samaison, replacing a small chapel that had been enlarged in 1132.

The vault keys display the coats of arms of Lisieux merchant families who contributed to the church construction in the 15th century.

The building, closed for religious services since 1965, now serves as a cultural venue for temporary exhibitions in central Lisieux.

The choir stained glass windows from 1501 depict scenes from the Apocalypse and a miracle of Saint James.

Location: Lisieux
