Small, Gothic Church in Historic Centre of Amboise
Église Saint-Florentin的点评
点评：Saint Florentin Church is a small, Gothic church close to the main square and the Royal Castle. Despite it’s central location, it is not the main church in Amboise. The much larger and grander, Eglise Saint Denis has that honour.
Built in the 1400s and consecrated in 1484, it was constructed upon the special orders of Louis XI.
Sadly, Louis was motivated more by personal interest than by religious or charitable grounds. At the time, the castle church also served as the parish church which meant that he had to attend mass with the great unwashed. At the time fear of the plague was rife and Louis reasoned that if he built a new parish church, he could keep the commoners and riffraff out of his castle church, therefore making it safer from disease.
The church has had some modifications over time but has largely retained its Gothic style. However the pretty, stained glass windows are not original. They were blown out in WWII and later replaced.
Inside, it was very quiet and with the exception of one other person, we had the place to ourselves.
This is only a brief stop but while you are here, look out for the colourful, modern metal sculpture by the American artist, Alexander Calder. It’s located around behind the back of the church.

翻译：圣弗洛朗坦教堂是一座小型哥特式教堂，靠近主广场和皇家城堡。尽管它位于市中心，但它并不是昂布瓦斯的主要教堂。更大更宏伟的圣丹尼斯教堂享有这一荣誉。
它建于 15 世纪，并于 1484 年落成，是根据路易十一的特别命令建造的。
不幸的是，路易修建教堂的动机更多是出于个人兴趣，而不是宗教或慈善目的。当时，城堡教堂还用作教区教堂，这意味着他必须与下层民众一起参加弥撒。当时人们对瘟疫的恐惧十分普遍，路易认为，如果他建造一座新的教区教堂，他就可以把平民和乌合之众挡在城堡教堂外，从而使教堂更安全，免受疾病的侵扰。
随着时间的推移，教堂进行了一些改造，但基本上保留了哥特式风格。然而，漂亮的彩色玻璃窗并不是原装的。它们在二战期间被炸毁，后来被替换。
教堂内部非常安静，除了另外一个人之外，只有我们几个人。
这只是短暂停留，但当您在这里时，请留意美国艺术家亚历山大·考尔德 (Alexander Calder) 创作的色彩缤纷的现代金属雕塑。它位于教堂后面。
