Église Saint-Pierre de Bouvines, Gothic church in Bouvines, France.

The Saint-Pierre church features 21 large stained glass windows measuring 8 meters high and 3.2 meters wide, illustrating scenes from the Battle of Bouvines.

Construction of the church began in 1880 under architect Auguste Normand and finished in 1886, designed to commemorate the 1214 Battle of Bouvines.

The stained glass windows incorporate 173 coats of arms representing local families and municipalities, creating a comprehensive heraldic display throughout the building.

The church opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM during summer months and from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM during winter season.

The church structure contains no supporting pillars, allowing unobstructed views of the massive stained glass windows that cost five times more than the building itself.
