The Église Saint-Nizier (St. Nizier Church) is a Flamboyant Gothic church built during the 14th and 15th centuries. Located at the heart of the Presqu'île, this church was originally erected in memory of the early Christian martyrs of Lyon.
 
The building of St. Nizier began in 1303, but the church was not consecrated until 1407. The brick steeple was added during the 15th century and its portal was erected during the Renaissance era.

The beautiful fan vaulting in the Cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral, England.
 
The magnificent Perpendicular great cloister ( begun in 1360, completed in the early fifteenth century) with its stone fan vaulting, is considered by many to be the most beautiful in England. It was also used as the setting for one of the Harry Potter Movies !
