Saint-Quentin Basilica

Building linked to the history of devotion to Saint Quentin, whose relics it contains were the object of an important cult in the Middle Ages. Its construction is contemporary with that of Notre-Dame de Paris and Soissons Cathedral.

About this building

The second largest Gothic building in Picardy, the basilica was built from the end of the 12th to the end of the 15th century, on the burial place of the martyr Quentin. Its originality lies in a tower-porch on the façade, an elevation of 34m50, a double transept plan, a radiocentric choir, an ancient labyrinth of 260 metres inscribed in the paving of the nave, stained glass windows from different periods.
