Church Saint-Aspais, Gothic church in Melun, France
Saint-Aspais church features stone walls, high central nave with five bays, two side aisles, and multiple chapels adorned with Renaissance stained glass windows.
Construction of Saint-Aspais church began in 1505 under architect Jehan de Félin, who provided plans for the complete reconstruction of an existing smaller Gothic church.
Saint-Aspais remains the main parish church of Melun, named after the city's evangelizer from late antiquity and the only church in France with this dedication.
The church opens daily from 8 AM to 7 PM, providing visitors access to view its architectural details and stained glass through guided or self-guided tours.
The church structure follows an irregular floor plan due to space constraints in medieval Melun, resulting in an uncommon trapezoidal layout for religious architecture.
