Notre+Dame+la+Grande

No one is certain of the early history of Notre Dame la Grande, but its first recorded mention was in 924 AD. The building is a Romanesque-Byzantine church from the 11th century and 12th century. People think that the name of the church probably indicates that there were smaller churches dedicated to Our Lady in medieval Poitiers becuase the building isn't that big. The only work done to the church was in 1996 to restore its stone walls. The facade of the building is depicted above. Shows a visual perspective of Bible stories.
