Notre-Dame de la Couture, Gothic church in Le Mans, France.
Notre-Dame de la Couture features two different towers on its western facade and contains high vaulted ceilings reaching nearly 22 meters.
The church originated from an abbey founded by Bertrand of Le Mans after 605, with the current structure dating from a 12th-century reconstruction.
The baptismal chapel houses a carved altarpiece from 1533 depicting important religious figures from medieval Christian tradition.
The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and continues to function as an active place of worship in central Le Mans.
In 2013, the church established a twinning relationship with Mar Elian monastery in Syria to support refugee families.
