Église Notre-Dame-la-Riche, Medieval church in Old Tours, France.

The Notre-Dame-la-Riche Church features brick vaults, timber framework, and multiple portals within its limestone structure at Rue Georges Courteline.

The church site traces back to the 4th century when Saint Lidoire built a religious structure on a Christian cemetery, later renamed Notre-Dame-la-Riche in 1141.

Five statues depicting the Marriage of the Holy Virgin, created by sculptor Antoine Charpentier in the 17th century, decorate the church interior.

The church remains open daily from 10:00 to 18:00 and functions as a parish church under the Archdiocese of Tours.

The building contains 16th-century stained glass windows and displays relics of Saint Francis de Paule on its north wall.
