Tips from the Community
The Sainte-Marie-Madeleine church was built in the 19th century in a neo-Gothic style by Aristide Tourneux, an architect from Castelgiron. With a touch of humor, the town's priest in 1912 wanted to give "cats to the girons": Arthur Regnault, a sculptor, therefore sculpted cats at the four corners of the bell tower. Having collapsed in 1998 following a severe storm, the bell tower was rebuilt identically in 2000.

This parish belonged to the Collegiate Church Notre Dame de VITRE until the year 1116. It was then handed over to the Abbey of Saint Melaine (in RENNES). SAINT-DIDIER, the patron saint of the Parish, is undoubtedly the holy bishop of RENNES who lived at the end of the 7th century. His statue is part of the altarpiece of the high altar (1721), as well as that of Saint GOLVEN.

The Saint-Pierre church was built between 1885 and 1888. The plans were drawn up by the architect Michel Gelly. Due to a lack of financial resources, the building never received a spire.

The church of Saint-Sulpice (17th century). Dedicated to Saint Sulpice, bishop of Bourges, the church of Ossé consists of a single nave ending in a straight chancel, to which two chapels have been added, forming the transepts. It has no style and may partly date back to the 16th century, as indicated by the ogival window of its chancel, now walled up. The North chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and originally reserved for the lord of Charot, was built in 1611. The other chapel, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, also seems to be from the 17th century. Le Plessix d'Ossé was the manor house of the parish. In 1440, Duke Jean V settled a dispute concerning the right of burial in the church of Ossé between the sieur du Pan, lord of Plessix, and the sieur de Montbeille, lord of Grées. The ecclesiastical superiority belonged to Ossé to the baron de Châteaugiron, but the lord of Plessix enjoyed the rights of founder and patron; this was declared in 1694 by Gabrielle Glé, marquise de la Vallière and lady of Plessix (National Archives, P. 1721). Jacques Le Prestre, baron de Châteaugiron, having acquired Plessix in 1744, took possession of all these honorary rights and had his coat of arms placed in the choir and on the high altar of the church of Ossé. As for the lord of Charot, he had his tomb, his pew, and his coat of arms in his reserved chapel. The bell tower dates from 1899. The altarpiece of the Holy Trinity dates from the 17th century.

The first castle of Châteaugiron was built in the middle of the 11th century by Anquetil, a Norman knight, who had received the lands from Alan III, Duke of Brittany. The oldest part of the current castle is the castle's Romanesque chapel dating from the 12th century. Probably in the 13th century, Châteaugiron castle was rebuilt as a stone fortress. Currently the Château de Châteaugiron fulfills several functions; its main body is used as a town hall, the other parts are used as offices and the independent keep is used for exhibitions.
