Saint-Martin de Luché Church

The Saint-Martin de Luché Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Luché-Pringé, in the French department of Sarthe, Pays de la Loire region.

Built in the 11th century by the monks of the Saint-Aubin Abbey in Angers on the foundations of an ancient sanctuary probably dedicated to Saint Apollonia, the church underwent numerous transformations over the centuries. Its remarkably well-preserved choir, completed in 1225, is a fine example of the Anjou Gothic style, with its "Plantagenet" vaults. Enlarged in the 16th century by the addition of a transept, the church was partially destroyed in 1921 following a devastating fire. The nave, badly damaged, was only partly rebuilt, giving way to a forecourt that facilitates access to the building from the western façade.
