Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Gothic church in Nemours, France.

The building features a 12th-century porch tower, a 17th-century nave without transept, and a 16th-century chevet with three radiating chapels.

Construction began in 1170 when Gautier I of Nemours welcomed Augustinian monks who brought a relic of Saint John the Baptist to the town.

The interior contains a 1654 organ case, a Tridentine high altar, and stained glass windows depicting scenes from Saint John the Baptist's life.

A major restoration campaign continues until 2024, including renovation of the chapels, ambulatory, and choir with support from the Heritage Foundation.

The naves and aisles display twisted pillars and columns, while the upper nave features false flamboyant vaults on wooden ribs.
