    This Gothic church (12th-13th century) is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Lawrence O'Toole, an Irish private who died in Eu in 1180. The apse was rebuilt in the 15th century and restored by Violet-le-Duc (19th century). On the outside, the chancel closure and the aisles attract attention, with their numerous buttresses with turrets and pinnacles.
    The interior stands out for its size and balanced proportions. In the nave there is a beautiful organ of carved oak, decorated with statues (1614). The statue of Notre-Dame d'Eu in the apse chapel is attributed to one of the Anguier brothers. In the left cross chapel is a 16th century statue of the Virgin Mary and behind the choir is a reliquary with the remains of St. Lawrence.
    In the second chapel of the ambulatory on the right (the Chapelle du Saint-Sépulcré) there is a 15th-century Entombment* under a flamboyant canopy. Against it you see a beautiful Christ of Sorrows (15th century). The crypt, just below the choir, is older than the church itself and has a pointed arch. Against the wall on the left you see the reclining statue (a giant) of St. Lawrence O'Tool (12th century). From the square behind the church you have a good view of the lower districts of the city and the Hôtel-Dieu. (Michelin)

      The collegiate Notre-Dame and Saint-Laurent O'Toole in Eu (Seine-Maritime) was originally the place of worship of an abbey that was destroyed during the Revolution. This church, built between 1186 and 1240, was that of the canons of Saint-Victor. The collegiate is classified as a historical monument by the list of 1840. It hosted the burial of St. Lawrence O'Toole and the Counts of Eu, as well as illustrious people. To read more: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coll%C3%A9giale_Notre-Dame-and-Saint-Laurent_d%27Eu
