This building of flamboyant Gothic style preserves in its restoration the scars of the war.
Deeply marked by the bombings of June 1944, the building, of flamboyant Gothic style, preserves in its restoration the stigmata of the war. Its façade was not restored, and in its place a green schist wall closes the nave. Noteworthy are the curious, elaborate exterior pulpit flanking the north wall of the choir, a World War II shell embedded in the stone, and the 15th and 16th-century stained glass windows miraculously saved from the disaster. Its peculiar appearance makes it one of the curiosities of the city.

Incontournable cette église lors de votre passage en ville haute, c'est juste à côté des remparts, cet édifice bombardé et mis à mal durant la guerre porte les stigmates de tirs sur sa façade. Quoique reconstruit et rénové par tout à fait à l'identique, des pans de mur sont d'une architecture différente, mais le mix convient très bien. Ne pas manquer de lire les panneaux explicatifs de cette reconstruction et vous fera comprendre "l'avant et l'après". Son intérieur vaut la visite aussi, c'est grand et majestueux avec un choeur remarquable avec de grandes voutes.
