Église Saint-Ouen de Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône

About

The Saint-Ouen Church is a parish Catholic church located in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, Val-d'Oise, France. It succeeds a chapel, which was built at the end of the seventh century or at the beginning of the eighth century to commemorate the passage of the funeral procession of Saint Ouen to his episcopal city of Rouen, in 686. The chapel was rebuilt during the first half of the 12th century in Romanesque style.

Only the Western portal remains. The rest of the chapel was rebuilt again from the end of the 12th century until the middle of the 13th century. The dimensions are modest, for Saint-Ouen de Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône is not yet a parish until the completion of the chapel, which then becomes parish church.

The nave and the lower side are vaulted with warheads during the first half of the 16th century in the flamboyant Gothic style. The chapels to the north and south of the facade appear as flamboyant, but date only from the 19th century. At this time, the church is heavily restored, and if the restoration is happy for the gate, it remains unfinished in the transept, and the Gothic choir is demolished to be replaced by a new structure...
