Abbaye Toussaint d'Angers, Medieval abbey in Angers, France.

The thirteenth-century abbey church features a tau-shaped architectural plan with two towers framing the main structure.

Founded in 1040 by Girard, the cathedral cantor of Angers, the abbey initially served as an almshouse to support impoverished individuals.

The Augustinian canons established residence in 1108, forming a religious community that merged contemplative life with pastoral activities.

The David d'Angers Gallery, established within the abbey since 1984, displays a permanent collection of sculptor Pierre-Jean David's works.

The former abbey refectory has been converted into a dance venue, creating a contrast between religious heritage and modern entertainment.
