Église Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours, Catholic church in Trouville-sur-Mer, France
Église Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours is a church building in Trouville-sur-Mer featuring a distinctive polygonal slate bell tower and a blend of neo-Gothic and neoclassical style elements throughout its exterior and interior structure. The building displays these architectural characteristics in both its design details and spatial layout.
Construction of the original church began in 1844 under the direction of Abbot Jean Vincent Lessard, with major expansions from 1872 to 1884 that transformed the building from its initial rectangular form. These growth phases shaped the overall appearance of the structure as it stands today.
The interior holds 18 protected artworks, including a 15th-century tapestry depicting a religious scene and a confessional with decorative details. These pieces shape the visual character of the space today and give visitors a sense of the artistic heritage within.
The building has been closed to the public since 2018 due to structural concerns requiring safety measures, and the municipal council initiated conversion procedures in 2023. Visitors can view the exterior of the building, and information about its planned future use may be available from local tourism facilities.
The organ was built in 1893 by Charles Mutin and restored in 2004, featuring a distinctive neo-Gothic case that still serves for concerts. It remains one of the most notable features inside and reflects a long tradition of music at this location.
