Collégiale Saint-Tugal de Laval, Medieval collegiate church in Laval, France

The Saint-Tugal collegiate church stands in Laval with its remaining stone walls marking centuries of religious and architectural significance in Mayenne.

Established in 1170 by Guy V of Laval, the church initially housed two chaplains before expanding to accommodate twelve canons for religious services.

The collegiate church held the revered relics of Saint Tudwal, a Breton bishop, transferred to Laval between 870 and 878 for safekeeping.

The structure received official recognition through its listing in the general inventory of French cultural heritage, despite its partial destruction.

The first secular school in Laval occupied the former collegiate church grounds in 1834, later transforming into the municipal library.
