The heart of King Richard the Lionheart is buried here. The height of the tower is 151 meters high

Beautiful funerary monuments from the 13th and 14th centuries can be seen in the cathedral, including recumbent figures from the tombs of Rollo, Richard the Lionheart and the Cardinals of Amboise

It is one of the most important church buildings in France in the Gothic style

This impressive monument was built in the 19th century and honors the life and martyrdom of Joan of Arc, the French heroine who led the army against the English during the Hundred Years' War. From the esplanade where the monument is located, you can admire the breathtaking view of the Seine valley and the city of Rouen. You can also discover the Notre-Dame de Bonsecours basilica, a neo-Gothic church adjacent to the monument. The monument is open to the public and free.

We modern people are used to the sight of high-rise buildings in many cities and even in the suburbs of large cities. Nevertheless, we often stop in amazement in front of such a Gothic church and admire the towers of the cathedral that reach skyward, which were conceived and built centuries ago. How much more must the people of the Middle Ages, who – at least the great majority of those who were not privileged – mostly lived in simple huts rather than stone houses, have admired the master builders of the time.
