About Saint-Lô Notre-Dame Church
The Notre-Dame Church in Saint-Lô is a Gothic Flamboyant church built over four centuries (1280s-1685) that now serves as a war memorial. " Visitors can see 15th-16th century stained glass windows that survived because they were removed during the war, including the Royal Window donated by King Louis XI around 1470. The church features one of only three exterior stone pulpits in France, described and sketched by Victor Hugo.

The name 'Capital of Ruins' was given to Saint-Lô by Irish writer Samuel Beckett, who worked at the Irish Red Cross hospital in the town after its liberation. He described the devastation in his 1946 essay 'The Capital of the Ruins,' witnessing firsthand a city where only 169 buildings remained usable out of over 3,000.
