Église Saint Vincent, Rouen: Overall view

The church was originally named Saint-Vincent-sur-Rive, built largely between 1458-1556. (The church was on the river Seine and imposed a fee on the passing ships, paid in salt before 1649). The bell tower was completed in 1669. There were some alterations in 1730; the interior was very ornamented in the Baroque style. Destroyed May 31, 1944. The only remnant left standing is the frame of the south porch of the transept and part of the wall with a monument (cenotaph) to Elisabeth Sangdelion (1761). Fortunately the 16th century stained glass windows had been removed and stored during the war; these were reconstructed and installed in Église Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc, Place du Vieux-marché, in 1979.
