The Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Délivrande is remarkable for its proportions and the luminosity of its interior

The two immense towers of this basilica stand in the heart of Douvres-la-Délivrande. Built between 1854 and 1878 in the neo-Gothic style, it is remarkable for its proportions and the luminosity of its interior. The choir, with 11 stained-glass windows and 34 wooden stalls sculpted by Jacquier, a famous sculptor of the time, is splendid, revealing all its beauty when a ray of sunlight shines through. And let's not forget the Black Madonna dating from 1580, and the white marble paving in the sanctuary.

De style néo-goth...e Normand,la basilique de Douvres-la-Delivrande est le plus ancien lieu de pèlerinage marial de Normandie,dans lequel,est érigée la statue de la Vierge Noire,oeuvre en pierre,polychromée (toujours recouverte de l'un de ses nombreux manteaux), datant du 16ème siècle,suite à la destruction de l'originale pendant les guerres de religion. Priée depuis le 7 ème siècle,elle est un des plus vieux sanctuaires mariaux de Normandie,aux origines gallo-romaines,qui seraient à l'origine de sa couleur..... Le sanctuaire marial a succédé à un culte populaire,célébrant une déesse mère, importée par des légionnaires romains originaires d'Afrique. Tous les ans au mois d'août,elle fait l'objet d'une procession,pour le pèlerinage de la Vierge Noire.
