Angers Cathedral of St. Maurice

Next was the cathedral of Angers, St. Maurice, another Plantagenet structure, impressive, but not quite Gothic.

Previous posts have shown some of the
exterior; here the nave and particularly
the four part vaulting; Gothic in so many
ways, except the height...

Altar, apse

Nice clerestory windows

The transept rose windows...

Are both of the Apocalypse...even in the 13th century,
the Office of Tourisme knew what was going to work in
Angers; "stick to your knitting" they were saying...

If nothing else, the organ loft in Angers is
among the greatest we have seen

Those four carved figures holding it up are about 3x normal
size...

former cloister of Roman origin
