Église Notre-Dame d'Épernay, Gothic church in Épernay, France
The church rises in Épernay with stone walls, a polygonal apse, and radiating chapels arranged in a Latin cross shape. It houses large Cavaillé-Coll organs that were transferred here in 1869 from the former Saint-Martin church.
The building was designed and constructed between 1897 and 1915 by architect Paul Selmersheim. It suffered significant damage from German bombardments in 1918.
The interior displays Renaissance stained glass windows showing Saint-Rémy, Saint-Augustine, and the Virgin Mary. These artworks shape how the church looks and feels when you walk through it.
You have free access to walk through and explore the interior and its artworks. The large organs are clearly visible from the main floor and are an impressive sight to observe.
Inside you can find the tombstone of Marshal Pierre Strozzi, a former ruler of this city. The church also preserves a bell from the late 1300s that remains on display.
