Église Saint-Laurent, Angers, Romanesque church in Angers, France.

The building features thick stone walls, round arches, and a preserved northern absidiole that exemplifies traditional French Romanesque construction methods.

Founded by Abbess Michilde in 1073, the church underwent a second construction phase in 1119 before receiving official recognition from Count Geoffroy in 1155.

Originally constructed as a Catholic church, the structure now functions as a synagogue, representing the evolution of religious practices in Angers over centuries.

Located at 1 Place du Tertre-Saint-Laurent, the monument remains accessible to visitors interested in examining its architectural features and historical elements.

The structure retains its original chevet and transept sections up to window height, while the nave walls were reconstructed without their initial window openings.
