Collégiale Notre-Dame-en-Vaux

Quai Notre-Dame, 51000 Châlons-en-Champagne

Marne
Grand Est

Collegiate Notre-Dame-en-Vaux of Châlons-en-Champagne is a large Gothic church built by the XIIth century (at the beginning of works in 1157 and completion, for the shell, by 1217) in the XVth century. In the XIXth century, a carillon of fifty-six bells was added him(her,it). The outside(exterior) is framed(supervised) by four Romance towers (influence of the cathedral of Toul), two in facade, two others in the angles of the transept and of the bedhead. Before Revolution, all four were topped with arrows. The apse in ambulatory and radiant(shining) chapels, spreads out its round volumes, which scan batteries(drum kits) stacked(superimposed) by abutments.
