With the Tourist Office of Troyes, discover the Saint-Nicolas Church with a passionate guide! During a 45 minutes walk, you will enjoy a guided tour of one of the most attractive churches of Troyes. An exceptional tour where everything will be revealed to you, from the chapel to the church!
Built after the great fire of 1524, the Saint-Nicolas Church was built on the ruins of the chapel by wealthy merchants. Its construction was completed around 1590, but the building did not receive a facade until the middle of the 19th century, after the destruction of the city wall. Today, although it is little known, this historic church is one of the most beautiful in the city of Troy. Its interior contains countless architectural and artistic treasures, which have earned it comparisons to a veritable museum of fine arts from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
With your family or friends, come and admire the interior decoration of this beautiful building and discover its history over the centuries! Fascinating statuary is housed here, including magnificent polychrome and Renaissance statues that are sure to amaze. Stained glass windows from the 16th century also adorn the building, including the Holy Host window and the stained glass window of Tobias, in grisaille with gold highlights. Take this tour and you'll see that unique architectural treasures await you!
