Church of St. Radegund (French: Radegonde) is a medieval Roman Catholic church, dating from the 6th century. It takes its name from the Frankish queen and nun, Radegund, who was buried in the church. Considered a saint, the church became a place of pilgrimage by those devoted to her heavenly intercession. The current church, constructed from the 11th to 12th centuries, was built in a combination of Romanesque and Angevin Gothic architectural styles.<!--{1#98102#Church of Sainte-Radegonde}-->

普瓦捷·Church of Sainte-Radegonde

Church of Sainte-Radegonde | 简单来说，这个教堂在以前用于埋葬修道士，当Sainte Radegonde（一位图林根公主，现在属于德国的一个州，后成为法兰克Franc皇后）公元587年在这里下葬后，教堂正式得名Ste-Radegonde。这位公主现在是Poitiers城市的守护神，是她建立了Poitiers的第一个高卢修女院，圣十字修道院（l'abbaye Sainte-Croix）。教堂里随处可见还愿牌，大概都是对守护神的还愿，如reconnaissance(感激)，merci pour nous protéger (感谢保护我们)，merci pour l'examen (考试还愿)，但我在wiki上也看到这样一条描述：在圣雕像后方，左上角一张还愿牌写道：”谢谢您的恩赐，能完全治好就更好了“，毫无疑问，一位对祈祷结果不大满意的朝圣者！小贴士：需要导览的话要去市中心旅游局办公室（office de tourisme）预约，时长1h30。地址：Rue du Pigeon Blanc, 86000 普瓦捷法国费用：免费
