À propos du lieu

EGLISE SAINT-VINCENT

Rue de l'église, 49390 Vernoil-le-Fourrier

Maine-et-Loire
Pays de la Loire

Already established in the 10th century, the church of Saint-Vincent de Vernoil-le-Fourrier astonishes by its very pure style. It owes this to its Romanesque parts, dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, uncommon in Anjou. Its voluminous bell tower, dating from the early 13th century, gives a glimpse of the grandeur of this building which was once one of the most imposing in Anjou. If you venture to the choir, you can admire three historic stained glass windows designed in 1883 by the illustrious master glassmakers of Angers Megnen, Clamens and Bordereau.
