Église Saint-André de Rouen, Gothic church tower in Rouen, France.

The Saint-André church tower rises 35 meters high, featuring stone walls, pointed arches, and vertical lines characteristic of Gothic architecture.

Built between 1541 and 1546, the tower remains the sole surviving element of the original church, which was closed for worship in 1791.

The tower represents French religious architecture from the Renaissance period, displaying the technical mastery of medieval stone construction methods.

Located in central Rouen, the tower stands near other medieval structures and provides a reference point for exploring the historical district.

After its deconsecration, the tower served as a lead shot foundry workshop, marking an unexpected transformation from religious to industrial use.
