Logis Pincé
Logis Pincé (Musée Pincé)
An elegant 16th-century Renaissance mansion with carved window frames and turrets, among the most beautiful buildings in the old town.
Logis Pincé was built between 1523 and 1535 for Jean de Pincé, mayor of Angers. Its corner turret, carved dormer windows and stonework reflect the early Renaissance style of the Loire Valley. The interior was once the Pincé Museum, which held collections of ancient Greek, Egyptian and Far Eastern artifacts. In recent years it has often been under renovation or open only for temporary exhibitions. Even without going inside, it is worth stopping to admire the exterior, which is right near the pedestrian street.
