La Psallette de la Cathédrale de Nantes, Historical monument near Cathedral of Nantes, France
Located on impasse Saint-Laurent, La Psallette stands next to Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Cathedral, featuring Gothic architecture in tuffeau and granite materials.
Built in the late 15th century, this residence belonged to the archdeacon of Mée before the Diocese of Nantes acquired it in 1837.
The name Psallette derives from the Latin word psallere, referring to the cathedral's singing school established in 1413 by Bishop Henri le Barbu.
The building contains two towers with spiral staircases, leading to upper floors where visitors discover large rooms with monumental fireplaces.
Inside the main tower, a granite and limestone spiral staircase winds around an empty core, creating an exceptional architectural feature.
