Model of the Collegiale Notre-Dame de Poissy

Model of the Collegiale Notre-Dame de Poissy, how it was in the 13th century when Saint Louis was baptised there (1214). The catholic parish church was founded c. 1016 by Robert the Pious and rebuilt 1130-60 in late Romanesque and early Gothic styles, in Poissy, Yvelines, France. The model was built by the prisonners of the central jail of Poissy under the direction of Sauvegarde et Animation du Patrimoine Sacra(c) and Cercle d'Etude Historiques et Archa(c)ologiques (CEHA) of Poissy. The Collegiate Church of Our Lady of Poissy was listed as a Historic Monument in 1840 and has been restored by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc. Picture by Manuel Cohen
