Église Sainte-Trinité de Falaise, Gothic church in Falaise, France.
Église Sainte-Trinité de Falaise is a church featuring a central nave, an ambulatory choir, a transept, and three lateral chapels decorated with limestone carvings. The building extends upward with vaults and columns that divide the space into distinct sections.
The church was built after a Romanesque predecessor was destroyed in 1204, then gradually expanded between 1240 and the 16th century. This long construction period added different styles that shape how it looks today.
The church stands at 9 Rue Rollon, directly at the foot of Falaise Castle, in the town's historic centre. Its name refers to the Holy Trinity. Three chapels were added on the north side in 1545, together with the porch that projects from the facade. The building is still an active Catholic parish church where masses are held.
The church is currently undergoing major restoration work and is in a fragile state, so visitors should be cautious and pay attention to marked areas. It is wise to check local opening times before visiting, as access may be limited.
