About Saint-Maclou Church
Saint-Maclou Church is one of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic architecture in France, often described as a 'miniature cathedral' for its remarkable vertical proportions within a compact space. Built between 1437 and 1517, this masterpiece features a unique five-porched curved entrance portal with magnificent Renaissance wooden doors depicting the Last Judgment, considered among the finest woodwork in Normandy. Inside, visitors can admire 15th-century stained glass including a stunning Tree of Jesse window, a Renaissance organ case from 1520, and intricate Flamboyant Gothic details throughout.

Saint-Maclou Church was built by wealthy merchant-draper families, particularly the Dufour dynasty, who funded the construction between 1437 and 1517. This private patronage during the Hundred Years' War resulted in one of France's finest examples of 'merchant Gothic' architecture, where commercial wealth created a masterpiece rivaling royal cathedrals.
