It is an exemplary case generally thirteenth century Gothic engineering. The developers experienced opposition from the nuns of the close-by convent, who caused extensive harm amid development. A great part of the structure occurred in the 13th century, and a portion of the recolored glass dates to that period, however fruition of the congregation was postponed for a long time because of war or absence of subsidizing.

Saint-Urbain is a classic example of French Gothic design of this period. The outside has punctured peaks with sharp focuses, limited braces with numerous zeniths, and openwork flying supports. The impact is outwardly mind boggling, maybe grating. The fundamental basic components are worked from a safe limestone from Tonnerre, while milder nearby chalk is utilized for infilling brick work of the dividers. The inside floor plan is smaller. There is a short nave with three narrows, a transept that does not extend from the side dividers and a thickset chevet that closes in three polygonal apses. There is no wandering.
