About Saint-Germain Church in Argentan
Saint-Germain Church is a 15th-18th century parish church that blends Gothic Flamboyant, Renaissance, and Classical architectural styles across its 70-meter length. The 15th-century north porch displays intricate Gothic stonework, while the 1631 bell tower represents Lower Norman classical architecture at its finest. " The church houses the preserved heart of Blessed Marguerite de Lorraine-Vaudémont (1463-1521), great-great-grandmother of King Henry IV.

The church's original stained glass collection, dating from 1450-1550 and considered among the finest in Normandy, was completely destroyed during artillery bombardment on August 13-20, 1944. Every single medieval window shattered during the Battle of the Falaise Pocket. The current windows are post-war replacements, meaning visitors today see none of the original 15th-16th century glass.
