Église Saint-Laurent de Saint-Laurent-en-Gâtines, Listed historical monument in Saint-Laurent-en-Gâtines, France.

The Grand'Maison stands 25 meters tall, constructed in the 15th century using red bricks, with a turret converted into a bell tower in 1875.

First mentioned in documents from 1494, this building initially served as a fortified house and tithe barn for the abbots of Marmoutier.

The church contains a 14th-century Virgin and Child statue, recognized by the fine arts department as a significant heritage element.

The current structure, renovated between 1862 and 1874 under architect Gustave Guérin's supervision, hosts regular masses and cultural events.

This former stronghold converted into a church features a square architecture measuring 18 meters on each side with 17 sandstone buttresses.
