Amiens Cathedral

The church of Saint Leu was rebuilt in its present flamboyant Gothic style in 1449 and was enlarged at the end of the 15th century. In 1793, the church of Saint Leu was stripped of its furnishings and transformed into a fodder shop for the army. Under the Directoire (1795-1799), the church of Saint Leu was returned to worship. In 1853, the municipality of Amiens commissioned the city architect, Vigreux, to carry out restoration work, which was limited to improving the water drainage. The interior of the church was repaired and decorated under the direction of Abbé Gaudissart, the parish priest. In 1918, the last old stained glass windows of the church were destroyed by bombing during the German offensive.

The church of Saint-Germain-l'Écossais is first mentioned in 1131, but the present church was mainly built between 1455 and 1490. From 1855 to 1877, the town's architect, Louis Henry Antoine, carried out a complete restoration of the church. The church was damaged in 1918, at the end of the First World War, by German bombing. It was more seriously damaged during the Second World War, when the German bombardment of 19 May 1940 destroyed the south gable and much of the furniture. The restoration of the building took a long time, from 1957 to 1992.

The church of St. James was built from 1837 to 1857 on top of a former medieval church from the mid 15th century which was demolished in 1833. The architect of the new church was François-Auguste Cheussey. During the First World War, the German bombing in 1918 damaged the church and its furnishings, but the church was further devastated during the Second World War and had to be restored afterwards. This task was entrusted to the architect Arduin.
