Église Saint-Martin du Lion-d'Angers
Église Saint-Martin du Lion-d'Angers, Medieval Catholic church in Le Lion-d'Angers, France
Saint-Martin-de-Vertou Church combines an 11th-century Romanesque nave with a 19th-century neo-Gothic choir built from sandstone and limestone materials.
Built in the 11th century and given to the Benedictine monks of Saint-Aubin Abbey between 1010 and 1030, the church underwent significant modifications through centuries.
The 16th-century wall paintings depict the Passion of Christ and hell representations influenced by the artistic preferences of King René of Anjou.
Visitors can enter the church free of charge at Place de l'Église and contact the town hall to arrange guided tours upon request.
The 1883 Aristide Cavaillé-Coll tribune organ maintains its original 17 stops, making it a historically preserved musical instrument.
