Église Saint-Florentin, Gothic church near Loire River, Amboise, France

The church features three naves separated by stone columns with floral capitals, topped by a Renaissance dome on its bell tower.

Louis XI ordered the construction of this church in 1473 to prevent residents from attending services at the castle during epidemics.

The church displays ten religious statues from the 19th century and stained glass windows created by Max Ingrand in 1956.

The building functions as both a religious space and an exhibition venue, offering visitors access to religious services and cultural events.

François II, son of King François I and Queen Claude, received his baptism in this church in 1518.
