Église Saint-Frobert

Église Saint-Frobert is a medieval church in central Troyes with its original exterior walls largely intact. Its most notable feature is a Renaissance niche on the south side, decorated with a targe-shaped shield surrounded by elaborate leaf motifs.

The building first appeared in church records during the 11th century as a subsidiary chapel to Saint-Rémy. It was substantially reconstructed in the 16th century and later sold off as state property in 1791.

This church stands in what was once the Jewish quarter of Troyes. It sits near an ancient Roman road that shaped how people moved through the area.

The building now serves as residential apartments and is not open for interior visits. You can still view the exterior and the Renaissance niche on the south side from the street.

The structure once served as a carriage workshop in the 1850s before being converted into homes. This transformation shows how a medieval building adapted to different purposes across several centuries.
