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.

église Saint Sulpice

Highlight • Other

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.

Châteaugiron Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.
