The Basilique Notre-Dame de Bonsecours is a Roman Catholic minor basilica in Bonsecours, near Rouen in Seine-Maritime, France. Designed by Jacques-Eugène Barthélémy and begun in 1844, it is considered the first church in France built in the Gothic Revival style. Its interior is richly decorated with windows, sculptures and other elements, often bearing the name or coat of arms of a patron donor. The site earlier held a shrine to the Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, dating to the thirteenth century. It is a classified historical monument.
