Note 341 — Chapter X · Gothic Art in Normandy[314]
Reading edition
Henry II, the first Plantagenet, made for his own residence the chapel of St. Julien in a faubourg of Rouen, Petit-Quevilly. Simultaneously Romanesque and Gothic, the small edifice is one of the most elegant specimens of Normandy’s XII-century architecture. Only the choir bay has retained the polychrome decoration which once covered the interior. St. Julien’s sexpartite vault has been replaced by a wooden roof.
