Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires in Angers is a church building whose history began with a small chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame, built before 1842. That chapel was enlarged in 1842. In the 1880s, the parish decided to replace it with a real church, financed by the bequest of Marie Guitton, a parishioner who died in 1883. The church is entirely registered as a historical monument, highlighting its recognized heritage value. Its significance lies in this layered history, which links an early devotional chapel, later enlargement, and the eventual construction of a church supported by a private legacy.
