Collégiale Notre-Dame d'Espérance de Montbrison, Gothic church in Montbrison, France.
The church extends 77 meters in length and 33.4 meters in width, featuring a central nave with side aisles and a pentagonal apse.
Count Guy IV of Forez initiated the construction in 1223, establishing a collegiate church managed by thirteen canons on the right bank of Vizézy.
The western portal, completed in 1459, displays intricate stone carvings that contrast with the simple architectural design of the facade.
The religious building remains an active place of worship within the Saint Claire Saint Therese en Forez parish, accessible through Notre Dame Cloister Street.
The church houses the tomb of Count Guy IV, which features detailed sculptures depicting the deceased noble in his official capacity.
