Église Saint-Laon de Thouars, Medieval church in central Thouars, France.
The bell tower and southern gable of Saint-Laon Church display 12th-century architectural elements, while the nave features newer ribbed vaults.
The church, built on the foundations of an 11th-century chapel containing Saint Laon's relics, underwent substantial reconstruction during the 15th century.
The Baroque altarpiece and the Chapel of Margaret of Scotland, decorated with painted fleurs-de-lis, demonstrate the building's artistic heritage.
The building, designated as a historical monument since 1988, stands at 12 Place Saint-Laon, next to Thouars town hall.
A hurricane in December 1711 caused the collapse of the bell tower spire, permanently altering the church's silhouette.
