The Cathedral of Saint Maurice, Angers represents two architectural styles, Romanesque and Gothic. The cathedral with its twin towers was built by two bishops, Normand de Doue and Guillaume de Beaumont during the 12th and 13th centuries. The cathedral contains decorative paintings from the 13th century and original stained glass windows from the 12th to 16th centuries.
