    Emblematic monument the town of Verneuil s/Avre with its flamboyant Gothic style tower culminating at 56 meters. It can be seen from very far, and even beyond the limits of the canton. Some even say that in good weather you can see it from Chartres Cathedral... Stronger and further still, it would have inspired the architects of the Tribune Tower, Chicago's famous skyscraper.

      The Church of the Madeleine is located in Verneuil-sur-Avre.

      Its 56 m high tower, visible for miles around, has become the symbol of the city. The church is classified as a historical monument.


      Construction began at the beginning of the 12th century, along with the founding and development of the city. The tower was built at the end of the 15th century but the lack of means interrupted the construction for 30 years. It was thanks to the generosity of the Bishop of Senlis, Artus Fillon, a native of Verneuil, that it was completed around 1525. The richness of its sculpted decoration makes it rightly compared to the Butter Tower of Notre-Dame Cathedral. and at the lantern tower of the Saint-Ouen abbey, both in Rouen.
