About Church of Our Lady of Caudebec-en-Caux
The Church of Our Lady of Caudebec-en-Caux is a masterpiece of Gothic Flamboyant architecture, built between 1426 and 1484 during the English occupation of Normandy. King Henri IV famously called it "the most beautiful chapel in my kingdom," while Victor Hugo described it as "a lace of stone" for its extraordinarily delicate stonework. The church features a spectacular 54-meter openwork spire known as the "Tiara of Caudebec," one of the most elaborate in Europe, with three tiers of fleur-de-lis crowns.

The church was built during the English occupation of Normandy in the Hundred Years' War, and one of its oldest stained glass windows was donated by Foulques Eyton, an English garrison captain. This rare "English Window" depicts St. George slaying the dragon - England's patron saint - alongside St. Michael, Normandy's patron saint, representing an unusual artistic union of the two warring nations.
