Palais du Tau, Angers, Episcopal palace in Angers, France
The Palais du Tau stands adjacent to Saint Maurice Cathedral, featuring a distinctive T-shaped layout with alternating brick and stone construction patterns.
The palace dates back to the mid-9th century, with major reconstructions in the 12th century inspired by the architectural design of Reims archbishopric.
The building transformed from an episcopal residence to a tapestry museum in 1910, later becoming a diocesan house of works in 1954.
Located at 2 Rue du Chanoine Urseau in central Angers, the palace provides access to its historical halls, library, and architectural elements.
The structure incorporates a circular kitchen from ancient times and maintains elements of a 3rd-century wall at the site of the Angevin gate.
