Église Notre-Dame du Saint-Cordon de Valenciennes
Église Notre-Dame du Saint-Cordon de Valenciennes, Gothic Revival basilica in Valenciennes, France
The Notre-Dame du Saint-Cordon church features three radiating chapels, a transept with portals, and a tower porch inspired by Chartres Cathedral's design.
Built between 1852 and 1864 by diocesan architect Alexandre Grigny, the church received its minor basilica status from Pope Pius XI in 1922.
The church maintains a millennium-old tradition through an annual procession that traces the path of a sacred cord, attracting thousands of participants.
The parish office welcomes visitors from Monday to Saturday between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for religious services and community activities.
The church houses an 1891 organ created by Joseph Merklin, which holds national historic monument status due to its technical characteristics.
