Église Saint-Grégoire des Minimes, Historical church in Tours, France.

The Saint-Grégoire des Minimes Church features a Baroque facade with detailed stonework and houses three side chapels with wooden altarpieces.

Founded in 1627 as part of a Minim Friars convent, the church survived the French Revolution and later served as a warehouse and military post.

The church maintains traditional Roman Catholic services and contains carved oak furniture from the 17th century, including an intricately designed canopy.

Located near Lycée Descartes on Rue de la Préfecture, the church opens its doors during Heritage Days for public visits.

The construction faced a major setback when the Loire River flooded in 1628, leading to architectural modifications including the addition of three chapels.
