Epitaph by Hugo Libergier

Hugo Libergier (* 1229 ; † 1263 ), French Hugues Libergier , was a master builder of the French High Gothic . The St. Saint-Nicaise church in Reims , consecrated to Nicasius of Reims , was started by him in 1229. It was canceled after the French Revolution in 1798.

The stone epitaph by Libergier measuring 2.50 × 1.35 meters is now in Reims Cathedral . Today it can be viewed in the north transverse structure. He is shown with a model of the church he designed (at least the facade) based on the model of the Reims Cathedral. A ruler, right angle and dividers are also shown as symbols for his profession. He also wears the costume of the Parisian professors, which symbolizes the scientification of architecture.

He was succeeded by Robert De Coucy († 1311). Hugo Libergiers pronaon Ecclesiae perfecit Robert de. Coucy Caput Ecclesiae construxit is called in an old script from the monastery of Reims .

A lycée in Reims bears his name.
