Église Saint-Gilles d'Abbeville, Gothic church in Abbeville, France.

The église Saint-Gilles displays asymmetrical architecture with a central portal featuring intricate stone carvings and a polygonal apse at its eastern end.

Constructed between 1485 and 1528 on the site of an earlier church, the building sustained severe damage during the bombardment of May 20, 1940.

The central portal includes a 19th-century statue of Saint Giles accompanied by a deer, representing the religious heritage of the region.

Located on Rue Saint-Gilles in Abbeville, the church welcomes visitors outside of regular religious services, with guided tours available by phone reservation.

The post-war reconstruction introduced modern elements, including concrete pillars and wooden vaults, while preserving the original Gothic exterior structure.
