The reconstruction of the church took place between 1449 and 1485 at the wish of the Dauphin, later Louis XI \(1423-1483\), victor against the English at Dieppe. Louis gave substantial financial support to the building, raised it to the status of a royal chapel, and chose it as his final resting place. The ground plan, with ambulatory but without radiating chapels and triangular vault sections, was influenced by Notre-SDame in Paris. The elevation in the central nave, with vast empty wall surfaces between low arcades and a high clerestory, is that of a monumental parish church. The photo shows the wall of the nave. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Bird's eye view]() - [Burial lantern]() - [Castle]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
