Discover the magnificent Église Sainte-Madeleine with Troyes Tourist Office! Of all the religious buildings in Troyes, this church is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable architectural gems. Join us for a guided tour, and take a closer look at its famous rood screen and stained glass windows.
With family, friends or enthusiasts, this cultural bubble in Troyes will take you on a journey to the heart of the city’s history and architectural wealth. For while Sainte-Madeleine is certainly one of the city’s most beautiful churches, it is also one of its oldest. In fact, its construction dates back to 1120, followed by reconstruction and numerous renovations over the centuries.
The church’s architecture is a blend of different periods and styles. A flamboyant Gothic apse and choir, a square Renaissance tower, a sculpted 17th-century portal and a 19th-century nave… all details that will surprise you during your visit!
The 45-minute guided tour also includes a look at the church’s famous rood screen and the exceptional stained-glass windows in its chevet. This stone tribune, which separates the liturgical choir from the nave, is a true masterpiece, whose details magnificently reflect the finesse with which it was built.
Architecture buffs are sure to find something to their liking on this outing. Why not take the opportunity to explore Troyes’ other wonders? The Jardin des Innocents (Innocents Garden), for example, is right next to the church, for a verdant historical discovery!
