EGLISE SAINT-VINCENT DE BRISSAC-QUINCÉ

The church of Saint-Vincent is a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.

Discover the Church of Saint-Vincent and observe the main features of Gothic architecture: rib vaults, painted keystones and the use of the pointed arch. You can also see some elements of Renaissance architecture in the nave and transept crossing, as the church was built during this period. René de Cosse, owner of the Château de Brissac since 1502, decided to have the church built in 1532. The architects of the period drew their inspiration from Antiquity, giving pride of place to the semicircular arch, as illustrated by the main door, the triumphal arch and the double arches of the transept. This church, now a parish church, was for many years the seigneurial chapel of the Château de Brissac.


This church is part of the network of "Eglises Accueillantes en Anjou" (Welcoming Churches in Anjou) open to the public.
