Église Saint-Michel de Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, Catholic church in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, France.

The church features a main nave with four bays, three from the 13th century and one added during the 15th century renovations.

The church was established in 1177 under Abbess Audeburge de Haute-Bruyère, creating a new independent parish separated from Saint-Martin de Roiffé.

The interior houses significant artworks from the 16th and 17th centuries, including paintings of the Passion and the Resurrection of Lazarus.

The building belongs to the Saint-Vincent-des-Coteaux-de-Saumur parish in the Diocese of Angers and maintains regular religious services.

The main altar, created in 1621 by sculptor Gervais Delabarre, stands as a notable example of Loire Valley religious craftsmanship.
