Saint Madeleine Chuch

Troyes, France

Église de la Madeleine de Troyes is a Gothic style church built in the 13th century. It was restored in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Renaissance-style square tower dates from 1525, as does the richly sculpted gateway to the former cemetery.

The masterpiece of flaming gothic, full of statues, paintings, carvings, wonderful stained glasses windows. The most amazing is the rood screen

Beautiful building and the windows are beautiful. Situated at a sweet at a peaceful square with a bar, that is fine to have a beer when able to sit outside. Inside metal music is played, so more body.

Such a beautiful old church. When we were there we were the only people in the church. Just as beautiful as the famous churches in Paris but no crowds at all.
