Church in Rouen with a magnificent example of Gothic architecture and an organ used in a concert today

The abbey church was built between the 14th and 16th centuries. Its proportions are imposing, to say the least: 137 m long and 26 m wide. The fifth church to be built on the same site, it was the work of Abbé Jean Roussel, who began construction in 1318, a project that would last three centuries! It's a magnificent example of Gothic architecture, but its masterpiece is inside: the organ built by the great Cavaillé-Coll in 1890 is still in use today, notably for concerts. Restoration work is scheduled for completion in 2024.

Cette abbaye a bien souffert des intempéries, de la pollution, du temps. Elle est en cours de restauration et sert de lieu d'expositions et de concerts. Vide et froide elle impressionne par sa longueur et sa hauteur.
