Tips from the Community
The commune of Assé-le-Bérenger owes its name to the Bérenger family who settled in the parish of Assé in the 12th century. The church dedicated to Saint Thuribe holds a prominent place in the town's memory. Completed in 1882, it replaced two former sanctuaries. It notably houses a pulpit, a wooden Christ, and an oil painting. According to legend, Saint Thuribe came to the commune during a period of severe drought. He caused a spring to appear. Currently, the stream feeds the commune's washhouse before flowing into the Erve River. Two statues have been sculpted in honor of Saint Thuribe.

The church dates from the early 12th century. It is a church enclosed within its cemetery. It retains the typical features of small rural churches of the 12th century. It has preserved its apse, its gable-roofed bell tower, its small Romanesque windows, its arcades with a barrel-vaulted transept, and the exposed timbers of its nave. In addition to 14th-century wall paintings, discovered by chance in 1888 by workers whitewashing the interior of the sanctuary, the building houses an 18th-century tuffeau altarpiece, a 15th-century baptismal font, and a 16th-century terracotta statue of the Virgin. The church is part of the parish of Saint-Pierre-du-Maine. The church has been listed as a historic monument since May 8, 1958. The altarpiece, the baptismal font, and the Virgin and Child are listed as historical objects.
