Basilique Notre-Dame du Sacré-Coeur d'Issoudun, Religious basilica in Issoudun, France
The basilica exhibits neo-gothic architecture with a pentagonal choir, lateral chapels, and an ambulatory added to accommodate growing congregations.
Father Jules Chevalier initiated the construction between 1857 and 1864, and Pope Pius IX elevated it to minor basilica status in 1874.
The stained glass windows, created between the 19th and 20th centuries, depict religious scenes related to Sacred Heart devotion.
The sanctuary remains open throughout the year, offering regular masses and spiritual gatherings for pilgrims and visitors.
The Merklin organ, installed in 1879 following a Dutch pilgrim's suggestion, underwent electrification in the early 20th century.
