The central portal and St. Stephen portal are damaged even from the religious wars, when the Calvinists, many in Rouen, beheaded and mutilated statues of almost all the churches of the city, also destroying furniture and tombs inside the buildings. However, it is recognized on the tympanum of Notre Dame portal Jessé a tree which is one of the few representations of this theme in stone. This realization of Rouen Pierre des Aubeaux, carved in 1512-1513, suffered the damage caused by the Huguenots in 1562, and was restored in 1626 by Nicolas Gugu or Cucu. The arches from the inside to the outside, are decorated with statues of patriarchs, sibyls and prophètes. The gates were made in 1512 by Nicolas Castille. The staging of the portal consists of a first major intersecting gable gallery, the great rose back and a second gallery called Viri Galilei
