From ossuary to school - history of one french cemetery

#westerneurope #rouen #normandy #france #europe Aitre St Maclou is the oldest parish in Rouen, preserved and reconstructed to its original looks. The place has a fascinating history: it started as a parish and a cemetery, turned into massive ossuary during the times of the plague and later on - a school. The place is free to visit and you can read about its history and architecture details in French, English or German. The yard is nice and shady, beautiful spot to sit for a few minutes and enjoy old traditional architecture.
