Hugues Libergier

Hugues Libergier (Unknown–1263[1]) was a medieval French architect and master mason of the Gothic era who worked in Reims, France.

[2] He contributed to the Rayonnant Gothic style, and notably directed the building of the Old Church of Saint-Nicaise de Reims [fr] begun in 1231.

[3] Libergier is commemorated on a tomb slab that now resides in Reims Cathedral.

[3] One of Libergier's innovations at Saint-Nicaise was a gabled screen that was stretched across the portal zone of the facade.

[4] The slab reads: ci-gît maistre Hugues Libergiers qui commença ceste église en l'an de l'incarnation MCC et XXIX [1229] le mardi de Pâques et trépassa en l'an de l'incarnation MCCLXIII [1263] le samedi après Pâques.
