The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Construite par l'architecte Bougoüin en 1899, cette église néo-gothique est conçue sur un plan mixte, centré (transept central) et orienté, et une composition extérieure très riche due à l'étagement des volumes polygonaux des chapelles articulant les bras du transept, la nef, le choeur, scandés par des contreforts et des tourelles d'escalier. Dans l'espace intérieur, l'influence angevine est très importante.

History
Built by the architect Bougoüin in 1899, this neo-gothic church is designed on a mixed plan, centred (central transept) and oriented, and a very rich exterior composition due to the stepping of the polygonal volumes of the chapels articulating the arms of the transept, the nave, the choir, punctuated by buttresses and staircase turrets. In the interior space, Angevin influence is very important.
