Saint-Nicolas-de-Tolentin church, Gothic church in Bourg-en-Bresse, France.
The Saint-Nicolas-de-Tolentin church features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large windows characteristic of French Gothic ecclesiastical architecture from the 16th century.
Construction began in 1505 under Margaret of Austria's direction as part of the Royal Monastery of Brou, with completion achieved in 1532.
The church houses three elaborate tombs of the Savoy dynasty, including those of Margaret of Austria, Philibert II, and Margaret of Bourbon.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours in multiple languages through its Gothic architecture and funerary monuments.
The roof features multicolored glazed tiles restored in 1996, reflecting the original 16th-century Flemish-French architectural design.
