Marigold window

A large, circular window, typically found above the main entrance of Gothic churches, featuring intricate tracery resembling a rose pattern. Often adorned with vibrant stained glass, it serves both decorative and symbolic purposes.
Also called the rose window in English-speaking regions. Since its radiating design resembles the Catherine wheel, the torture device associated with Saint Catherine, it is also called the wheel window or Catherine wheel window.
