Église de la Trinité de Saint-Sauveur

About

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish Catholic church located in Saint-Sauveur (Oise), France. It replaces a medieval church dedicated to Saint-Michel, already old when the troops of Hugues de Cézanne beat the English near Verberie on the day of the Holy Trinity of 1359. The captain then vowed to build a new church under this term, but the project was finally implemented only from the end of the 15th century at the earliest.

This is clearly indicated by the flamboyant gothic style of the church, and the influences of the Renaissance perceptible in the transept and downsides of the nave. The main work was probably completed in 1543, a date that reads about the remarkable remains of stained glass preserved in the choir. The vaulting did not end until 1559, but the church remained, in fact, unfinished, for the first two spans of the nave had never been vaulted, and were devoid of bottoms to the south.

Apart from this defect and a lack of elegance of the bell tower and the facade, the Church of the Holy Trinity is a neat construction, especially inside, which demonstrates stylistic research. The exterior is sober, but of a good regularity...
