Description
Arms presents a view of the Eglise Saint-Gervais Saint-Protais from Quai Fossé-au-Tanneurs in Gisors, France. According to local history, the Gisorsians erected the Gothic choir which was consecrated in 1239. The church was revamped over the centuries and it fuses Gothic, Flamboyant Gothic, and Renaissance architecture. During World War I, the church was hit by a German missile during Good Friday service on 29 March 1918. The vault collapsed killing eighty-eight people and wounding another sixty-eight. The large stained-glass window is part of the chapel of Virgin.
