Brie-Comte-Robert, Église Saint-Étienne

Construction started in the north-east corner of the building under the initiative of Robert II of Dreux, with the work continuing through the 13th-century. The choir was the completed in early 13th century. The cylindrical columns and tall clerestory windows of the nave reflect the Parisian forms of Notre-Dame.The middle level has a tall triforium with plate tracery of quatrefoils surmounts to tri-lobed lancets (c. 1230s) reflects prototypes in and around Paris such as Saint-Séverin. The structure also points to the work of Hugues Libergier, in his work of Saint-Niçaise at Reims. Some of the slender cylindrical columns of the nave arcade failed and were replaced towards 1530 with units in the style of Pierre Chambiges. During the 17th-century considerable amounts of the superstructure where replaced.
