Église Saint-Sépulcre d'Abbeville, Gothic church in Abbeville, France.
Description
Église Saint-Sépulcre d'Abbeville is a Gothic church from the 15th century featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and external flying buttresses. The building shows characteristic French Gothic elements and dominates the town's landscape.
History
Construction of this church began after the Hundred Years War ended, symbolizing a period of rebuilding in northern France during the 1400s. This era marked a time of renewed cultural and architectural investment in the town.
Culture
The church displays modern stained glass windows created by artist Alfred Manessier in the late 1980s, showing themes of life, death, and resurrection. These contemporary artworks create a striking contrast within the medieval stone structure.

The church is accessible from April through September without advance booking, but from October through March visitors need to arrange their visit in advance. Plan according to the season and check conditions before arriving.
