Tours - Saint-Julien

Tours - Saint-Julien
The church of Saint Denis, that I had just seen in Amboise, was part of a priory, that depended from the abbey Saint-Julien de Tours. This church in the center of Tour is, what is still left of that abbey. Founded end of the 6th century, the abbey got destroyed by Normans in 853, but reconstructed within the following century.

Just like the cathedral, it got damaged during a conflict between Louis VII of France ("Maison de Blois") and Henry II of England ("Maison d'Anjou" / "Maison de Plantagenet"). It was rebuilt and consecrated again in 1084.

After the revolution the church was sold and used as stables.
