Presentation

The Notre-Dame de Châteauroux church dates back to 1882. It is surmounted by a gilded virgin and combines Romanesque and Byzantine influences, symbolising the eclecticism that was in vogue at that time.

About the monument :

The Notre-Dame de Châteauroux church is one of the main churches in the city. The architect Alfred Dauvergne created this building in 1882 and used the sculptor Giraud-Dupin who produced among others the 64 finely-carved capitals on the nave columns. The church's special feature is that it is influenced by the Romanesque style, especially in the arrangement of the radiant chapels, as well as the Byzantine style with its dome surmounted by a statue of the Virgin in gilt copper, six metres high. Also of note is the curious inscription "French Republic" above the porch, reminiscent of the separation of the churches and the State in 1905.
