Cathedral of the Trinity (La Trinit\u00E9) is mostly Romanesque and Early Gothic (Angevin Gothic) in character. Begun in ca. 1070, with many building campaigns. The central tower dates from 1110. In 1537 Jamet Neveu, master mason, built two chapels. The church has six Aubusson tapestries in the interior. Listed as an historic monument in 1840, it became a cathedral in 1855.
