Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, Angers

Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires is a Romanesque Revival church built from tuffeau limestone and schist stone in two tones. The interior features cylindrical columns that divide the nave into separate sections.

The church was built between 1898 and 1904, financed by Marie Guitton's bequest and community contributions. The project filled a need for a new house of worship in the expanding city center.

The name Notre-Dame-des-Victoires reflects the devotion to Mary that shaped Angers in the 1800s. The building sits at the heart of the city's religious life and daily rhythm.

The church sits on Place Louis-Imbach and is easily accessible from the city center. Visitors can walk through the entire building and view all areas without difficulty.

The choir contains stained glass windows installed in the 1930s and 1940s that show religious scenes. These windows were added after the church opened and add color to the stone interior.
