Saint-Pierre le Puellier, Medieval church ruins in Tours, France

The remaining northern aisle of Saint-Pierre-le-Puellier church stands near Place Plumereau, featuring Gothic architectural elements from the 12th century.

Founded in 512 by Queen Clotilde, the church expanded in the 11th century and underwent reconstruction in the late 12th century before its partial demolition in 1791.

Archaeological excavations between 1968 and 1973 revealed layers of history from Roman times through medieval periods, marking the start of urban archaeology in Tours.

The site now functions as both a private residence and a protected historical monument, with occasional public access during Heritage Days events.

The location served as a venue for medieval judicial trials by water and fire, reflecting its significance in local administration.
