Église Notre-Dame-de-Sainte-Croix
Église Notre-Dame-de-Sainte-Croix, Renaissance church in Le Mans, France
Notre Dame de Sainte Croix church features neogothic architecture with a simple structural design, including a ciborium above the main altar.
Originally built as a chapel for a hospice in the sixth century by Saint Bertrand, the current church structure was consecrated in June 1857.
The church contains the sanctuary of Basile Moreau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, with a recumbent statue in the south transept.
Located on a west-facing hill in the Sainte-Croix district, the church returned to religious service in 1931 after serving military purposes.
The surrounding neighborhood, known for its quality vineyards maintained by religious orders, takes its name from this religious building.
