Notes
Date
Begun ca. 1190
Plan
The late 12th-century church with double nave aisles and non-projecting transept was extended soon after 1500 with a chevet terminated by a trapezoidal three-sided hemicycle surrounded by hexagonal-vaulted cells that unite the ambulatory with the three radiating chapels.
Elevation
In the nave there is a three-storey elevation with stocky arcade elongated ?Burgundian? triforium and deep-set clerestory window. The late Gothic chevet is two-stories with cylindrical piers and short clerestory. The trapezoidal hemicycle allows the visitor?s gaze to penetrate to the deeply saturated stained-glass characteristic of the Troyes glass painters in the decades around 1500.
Significance
The glory is the choir screen built by Master Jean Gailde in the second decade of the 16th-century.
