Construction started in the 13th century, but the church was repeatedly renovated. Beautiful rose window above the 14th century central portal. the tower on the facade dates from the 15th century; the chancel and the radiating chapels are from the 16th century. The southern cross arm, on the Rue Sainte-Catherine side, offers a good example of the Primitive Gothic style. The church has 107 gargoyles. The nave (13th century) has balanced proportions and is decorated with a 14th century triforium. The decoration of the skylights was added a century later. Close to the tower, accessible by a staircase decorated with inscriptions, is the first chapel of the right aisle, the Chapelle Saint-Sépulcre (15th century), with a beautiful stone balustrade. the other chapels were donated by shipowners from Dieppe. The organ case dates from 1635. Above the door of the Chapelle du Trésor (sacristy) on the left, see the frieze from 1530, with rows of Brazilian Indians that recall the long journeys of sailors from Dieppe. The transept, the oldest part of the church, supports the central dome, which was rebuilt in the 18th century. The choir has a beautiful star vault and an openwork triforium (16th century). Above the altar is a beautiful wooden statue of Saint James (17th century). To the right of it, a flamboyant violence has been preserved in the Chapelle du Sacré-Coeur.
