Église Sainte-Maxence de Pont-Sainte-Maxence, Gothic church in Pont-Sainte-Maxence, France.
The church displays high vaults and ascending pillars that merge seamlessly with the ribbed ceiling, representing late 15th century Gothic architectural elements.
Construction of the religious edifice began in 1470 following the Hundred Years War, replacing an earlier structure on the site of Saint Maxence's martyrdom.
The church maintains the only altar in France dedicated to Saint Maxence, a Scottish noblewoman from the 5th century who was martyred after fleeing forced marriage.
The building hosts regular religious services under the guidance of Father Alexandre Hurand, supported by permanent deacons Victor Agbolo and Hugues Leclercq.
A tribune organ from 1643 enriches the church interior, demonstrating several centuries of religious musical traditions in the region.
