Jean Balue, bishop of Évreux in the second half of the 15th century, constructed the octagonal central tower, with its elegant spire.

In August 1465, King Louis XI granted Bishop Balue a subsidy from the gabelle to allow him to resume work on the restoration of the cathedral, which had begun under the patronage of Charles VII but which had ceased from lack of funds.

Two rose windows in the transepts and the carved wooden screens of the side chapels are masterpieces of 16th-century workmanship.

The stained windows that are more elegant and perfectly modeled embody the contemporary paintings that are showcased in Paris.

The stained glass windows were destroyed during World War II but were restored by Jean-Jacques Grüber in 1953.

The spire, called "Clocher d’Argent", rises to a height of 78m after its reconstruction after being bombed during the Second World War.

A wooden octagonal belfry and spire surmounting the south-west tower was not restored and is missing.

The inaugural concerts have been given by famous organists, such as Thierry Escaich, Pierre Pincemaille or André Isoir.

[7] The plan is in a cross-style layout with a northern transept arm in a Gothic style with vaulted spaces at each end, one to the west and one to the south.
