[FR] Le temple protestant d'Angers est un édifice religieux situé rue du Musée à Angers. La paroisse est membre de l'Église protestante unie de France. Il s'agit de l'ancienne chapelle Saint-Éloi du prieuré Saint-Gilles du Verger, puis du petit séminaire.
Dès 1849, la ville d'Angers confie l'ancienne chapelle du prieuré Saint-Gilles du Verger à la communauté protestante. Le premier culte est célébré le 20 octobre 1850 et présidé par Adolphe Monod. En 1877, l'architecte Charles Demoget construit la porte d'entrée et le vestibule actuels en style néo-roman.
La chapelle est représentative des débuts du style Plantagenêt, également appelé gothique angevin, époque de passage en Anjou entre les architectures romane et gothique. Elle est encore principalement romane, avec ses murs épais, ses deux travées cubiques et ses baies en plein cintre très ébrasées. Les voûtes d’ogives ont été reconstruites au XVe ou XVIe.
[EN] The Protestant temple of Angers is a religious building located rue du Musée in Angers. The parish is a member of the United Protestant Church of France. This is the former Saint-Éloi chapel of the Saint-Gilles du Verger priory, then the minor seminary.
In 1849, the city of Angers entrusted the old chapel of the Saint-Gilles du Verger priory to the Protestant community. The first service was celebrated on October 20, 1850 and presided over by Adolphe Monod. In 1877, the architect Charles Demoget built the current entrance door and vestibule in neo-Romanesque style.
The chapel is representative of the beginnings of the Plantagenêt style, also called Angevin Gothic, a period of transition in Anjou between Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It is still mainly Romanesque, with its thick walls, its two cubic bays and its very splayed semi-circular bays. The ribbed vaults were rebuilt in the 15th or 16th century.
