Church of Saint Sauveur in Les Andelys
Building Chateau-Gaillard required the presence of over three thousands workers in les Andelys. The Saint-Sauveur church was built for them. Works started in 1198 and were finished four years later, in 1202, that is why the church has an outstanding unity.

 

Turner produced a sketch of it which is in Tate Britain:

Les Andelys: The Church of St-Sauveur, with the Ruins of Château Gaillard Above  ?1827-9

   
  The pipe organ, one of France's most beautiful ones. (1674)
