Saint-Gengoult collegiate church in Toul

Smaller than the cathedral, the Collégiale Saint-Gengoult nevertheless houses a veritable architectural treasure: its cloister. Begun in the 1510s and brutally completed around 1522, it is a well-preserved showcase, skilfully blending flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance styles. The galleries are decorated by 78 keystones, each with its own unique motif.
The Gothic collegiate church was built at the same time as Saint-Etienne cathedral. Partly financed by the bourgeoisie of Toul, it symbolizes the town's autonomy from its bishop. Its interior features a number of small elements that make it a highly appreciated monument, including its original stained glass windows dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, as well as the many plinths in the building.
