All in white and black stones, the Saint-Quentin basilica is the second Gothic building in all of Picardy. Built between the end of the 12th century and the end of the 15th century, it is particularly known for being the burial place of the martyr Quentin who gave it his name.
Listed as a Historic Monument, it fascinates with its original architecture revealing a front porch tower over thirty-four meters high, a double transept or a radioconcentric choir.
Inside, visitors will be seduced by the ancient 260 m labyrinth inscribed in the paving of the nave. Stained glass windows installed at different times complete the artistic offer of the Saint-Quentin basilica with in particular medieval stained glass windows in the apsidal chapels dating from the 12th century. These represent episodes from the life of the Virgin and of Saint Stephen.
To learn more about the building, the tourist office offers guided tours.
