The monumental door, which was inaugurated on 22 June 2012, is a posthumous work by the Catalan artist Josep Grau Garriga. The painter and tapestry-maker was commissioned to create the stained-glass windows of his adopted municipality’s church. The work is a perfect summation of his talents as a painter, tapestry weaver and stained-glass artist.

The inclusion of this contemporary work in a historic building demonstrates how the Loire Valley’s heritage may be further enriched.
