Palais des comtes du Maine, Medieval palace in Old Town, Le Mans, France.
The Palace of the Counts of Maine combines an administrative great hall and the Saint-Pierre-la-Cour collegiate church within the historic center of Le Mans.
Built between the 11th and 15th centuries, this palace served as residence for the Counts of Maine and the Plantagenets, including King Henry II of England.
The Saint-Pierre-la-Cour collegiate church contained the relics of Saint Scholastica, making it a significant religious center in medieval Le Mans.
The palace now functions as Le Mans city hall and includes exhibition spaces that are open to the public without admission fees.
Medieval elements of the original structure remain visible along Rostov on Don Avenue, preserving architectural features from the 12th century.
