Église Saint Pierre

Highlight • Other

The bell tower is visible from afar and has long dominated the town and its surroundings. The Saint-Pierre church has retained its impact on the local landscape for over a century. It was indeed in 1888 that the Fabrique Council decided to entrust Arthur Régnault, the diocese's architect, with the project for a new construction. His plan was accepted and work began in October 1889, before the blessing of the first stone on March 13, 1890. As an anecdote, the stones are extracted from the quarry of La Bouëxière. Quickly, the inhabitants discovered its citadel-like appearance, Arthur Régnault having wanted to honor the city of Châteaubourg which had not had a castle for a long time! The structural work was completed on March 28, 1893, but due to lack of funds, the bells would wait until 1894. The work on the woodwork and the construction of the high altar took place in 1911, the church being due to host the important Eucharistic congress of 1913.

Maintenance work continued over the years, the church having become the property of the municipality since 1905. During the bombings of the summer of 1944, the church was spared. The inhabitants would not forget it: on May 9, 1945, the day after the armistice, the men carried Notre Dame de Boulogne in procession and paraded barefoot through the streets. The centenary was celebrated in 1992 with the decision to install the current organ. The church of Châteaubourg has thus traversed local history from the 15th century – the date of construction of the previous, much smaller church – to that designed by Arthur Régnault.

Church built in the 15th century, from that period only the choir and the chapel to the north, which became the sacristy, currently remain. The nave and transept were rebuilt in 1851 (inscription: MR. RUPIN MAIRE ET LES PAROISSIENS 1851). The tower is dated 1859, it was built by Guyon, an entrepreneur from Vitré.

Saint Goulven Church

Highlight • Other

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.
