Church of the Incarnation of Our Lady (Eglise Notre-Dame-de-l'Incarnation), part of former Carmelitan Convent in Tours, is one of several interesting historic religious buildings located in Rue des Ursulines.
This single-nave neo-Gothic structure was built together with another convent' buildings after relocation of Tours' Carmel from Pont neuf area to Rue des Ursulines in 1845-1847. The convent was designed by architect Etienne Pallu, constructed by master carpenter Adolphe Chemale and master mason Jean-Baptiste Heron.
