This church, dedicated to a Breton saint, is one of the town's jewels.

The church of Saint-Maclou is one of the town’s jewels. It is dedicated to a Breton saint, also known as Malo. As early as the 10th century, a chapel dedicated to the saint was built in this area, which was then located outside the city walls. In 1432, the building collapsed in the middle. A new construction was planned in 1437, based on plans by Pierre Robin. The monument was consecrated in 1527. The Saint-Maclou church escaped the bombardments of June 1944, although part of the chevet and chapels collapsed.

Eglise majestueuse avec un très beau Christ en croix au dessus de l'autel et des beaux luminaires en forme de clochers.
Par contre le reste de l'église n'a pas beaucoup d'intérêt et les chapelles latérales sont un peu en bazar, et avec du matériel entreposé et des fleurs fanées...

Nous n'avons pas pu voir l'intérieur, mais l'extérieur est magnifique... dans la lignée de la cathédrale

Beautiful church quite similar to the cathedral but smaller. The architecture is unique, detailed and impressive. The church itself is set in an area surrounded by beautiful Tudor-type buildings with cafes, restaurants and independent shops.
It is in a fairly quiet part of the city centre.
Not sure how often one gain entry.
It is such a beauty to meander through the streets nearby.

The Place is the most authentic time machine, ever. And the heart of the historic Old Rouen.
St. Maclou Catholic Church itself an underrated gem - because everyone focuses on the Cathedral - but those who are architecture conscious a real treat, among other remarkable buildings in Place Barthélémy!
