This building is the largest wooden church with a separate bell tower in France.

Founded at the end of the Hundred Years’ War, to thank God for the departure of the English, it is the largest wooden church with a separate bell tower in France! This choice of material can be explained by the lack of means of the inhabitants at the time. But the people of Honfleur turned this disadvantage into an asset. Drawing on their knowledge of shipbuilding, they built the church in the style of a ship. Its silhouette is unique, and the result is breathtaking. Once again, Honfleur stands out from the crowd with this listed church.

Magnifique
Ne serait-ce que pour son extérieur, l'église vaut la peine du détour !

spectaculaire
tout le bois fabriqué par les pêcheurs locaux a un extérieur impressionnant pour le bois qui transmet à la fois tout son âge et sa solidité. L'intérieur a la même majesté grâce au toit en forme de quille inversée

Unique en son genre
Magnifique église tout en bois. Incomparable avec un charme fou. On se dit que c'est un miracle que cette église ait pu résister au temps.

Surprenante, pour le moins atypique, à voir absolument. Elle tranche totalement avec l architecture plus colorée de la ville.
