The Saint-Maurice Cathedral dates back to the 12th - 13th centuries and was built in the Gothic style. The beautiful and colorful church windows from the 12th, 13th and 15th centuries are admirable.

At the beginning of the 11th century, Hubert of Vendôme, Bishop of Angers between 1006 and 1047, had a new church built with a single nave. The new cathedral was consecrated on August 16, 1025. The church burned down after just seven years and was only made usable again at the end of the 11th century by Bishop Geoffroy de Tours (1081–1093). His successors Renaud de Martigné (1102–1125) and Ulger (1125–1148) finally had the cathedral rebuilt. The work was further advanced under the bishops Normand de Doué (1148–1153) and Guillaume de Beaumont (1202–1240).

Even if it cannot be compared to the very large cathedrals, it is still worth a visit, not least because of the windows.
