Church of Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc, Rouen

 
The Church of Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc (Joan of Arc) was built in 1978 at the location of her execution.



 
The stain glass windows were taken from the 16th century Saint-Vincent Church which was destroyed during World War II after the windows had been removed for safe keeping.

 
The ceiling of the church was designed so the timber symbolized the Viking ships of the city founders.
