Angers Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Maurice d'Angers) is a Catholic church dedicated to Saint Maurice in Angers, France. It is the seat of the Bishops of Angers.

Built between the 11th and 16th centuries, it is known for its mixture of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, its ornate Baroque altar and sculpture. It also has an extensive collection of stained glass windows, including the transept's window of Saint Julian, considered to be a masterpiece of French 13th-century glasswork.[1] as a national monument of France.
