Basilique Notre-Dame de Gray, Minor basilica in Gray, France

The Notre-Dame basilica displays Gothic and Renaissance architecture with a five-sided apse, a central portal, and a bell tower rebuilt in 1950.

Construction began in 1478 after the original church was destroyed in 1477, with the choir completed by 1508 and the nave finished between 1527 and 1531.

The basilica holds two significant religious artifacts: the heart of Saint Pierre Fourier since 1641 and a statue of Notre-Dame de Gray since 1802.

The basilica maintains regular services and remains open to visitors, featuring a restored organ from 1728 and extensive stained glass windows from 1848.

The Tree of Jesse window in the central verrière stands as the largest representation of this biblical theme in European religious architecture.
