St-Mathurin, Gothic church in Moncontour, France

The Saint-Mathurin church features a slate-covered bell tower with a lead dome and corner pinnacles at the center of Place Penthièvre.

Initially dedicated to Saint Anne in 1050, the church received its current name Notre-Dame and Saint-Mathurin in 1546 after multiple religious transitions.

Six stained glass windows created between 1520 and 1540 depict religious scenes, including the masterpiece showing five episodes of Christ's childhood.

The church maintains regular visiting hours throughout 2024 and includes facilities for visitors with reduced mobility at Place Penthièvre.

The lead roof covering, influenced by Spanish architectural elements, dates from 1647 and underwent restoration work between 2010 and 2012.
