Tips from the Community
Composed of a central nave ending at the apse with a straight wall pierced by an ogival window, and accompanied by side aisles at the end of one of which rises the 58 meter bell tower. The four upper bays are from the 15th century. The church being too small at the end of the 15th century, it was extended by three bays representing approximately 14 m of floor space. The Renaissance facade offers a beautiful sculpted door from the 16th century depicting four scenes from the life of the Holy Virgin, attributed by Abbot Froger to the sculptor Guillaume Le Houx (holly garland, cornucopias and his initials M.G.L.H.).

The old village church was partly destroyed by fire in 1720; it was rebuilt in the 1780s but without decoration. All of the painted decorations were executed between 1863 and 1865: the scenes and figures by Dubois and the ornamental decoration by Goislard under the direction of Louis Bodin, Count of Galembert. This vast program was sponsored by the allied families of Vanssay and Galembert and the priest Toizard; the factory participated for 5448F. The church was consecrated by Monseigneur Fillion, bishop of Le Mans, on September 5, 1865. (inventory of the heritage of the Pays de la Loire region) A black marble plaque engraved with the names of 30 soldiers per year was inserted into the wall paintings of this church, under the Crucifixion.
