Origin and history

The church of the Cordeliers de Poitiers is a religious monument located in the town of Poitiers, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. In the general context of New Aquitaine, medieval and post-medieval churches played a central role in the lives of local communities.

They served not only as places of worship, but also as social and cultural landmarks, often linked to religious orders such as the Cordeliers, a Franciscan branch known for its spiritual influence and commitment to urban populations.
