In the left transept, we will see the altar of the Holy Sepulchre (1504) and the reliquary containing the remains of Bishop Freppel, bishop of Angers, who died in 1891. Four windows are stained glass windows from the 15C. attributed to Pierre Andlau or her student Thibault Lyxheim. Ste-Odile chapel contains a modern triptych.

Imposante par ses dimensions, elle a été construite au 19e s. dans le style néogothique.
