Église Saint-Maclou de Mantes, Romanesque church in Mantes-la-Jolie, France.

The Saint-Maclou tower reaches 45 meters in height and features an octagonal staircase turret adorned with statues representing virtues and religious figures.

Originally constructed in the early 11th century, the church burned down in 1087 during William the Conqueror's assault on the city of Mantes.

The church served as both a religious center and hospital during its early years, reflecting the medieval integration of spiritual and medical care.

The remaining tower and section of Romanesque wall stand near the former wheat market area in central Mantes-la-Jolie.

The church's main axis deviates from traditional East-West orientation, with its western face slightly turned toward the northwest.
