Église Notre-Dame la Grande, Poitiers, Romanesque church in Poitiers, France
The Notre-Dame la Grande church features a western facade adorned with intricate sculptures depicting biblical narratives and religious figures across multiple levels.
Originally constructed on the site of a pagan temple, the church received its current structure during the 11th century and was consecrated in 1086.
The interior contains medieval frescoes in the choir area, while the lateral chapels added in the 15th century display Renaissance artistic influences.
The building is undergoing extensive restoration work from 2024 to 2026, with guided tours available through the Grand Poitiers Tourist Office.
