St. Catherine’s Church, located in Honfleur, France, stands as the largest surviving wooden church in the country. Rebuilt entirely from wood in the 15th century after the original stone structure was destroyed during the Hundred Years’ War, the church showcases a unique architectural feature: its ceiling resembles two upturned boats, a nod to the town’s seafaring heritage. Today, visitors can admire the intricate wooden construction and the distinctive nautical design, offering a tangible connection to the maritime history of Honfleur.
