Chapel du château de Montabon

The church Saint Sulpice d'Avoise, dominates the river of Sarthe. Built in the twelfth century, it was reworked many times to take its current form, with renovations completed in the nineteenth century. It is a Romanesque building with a cruciform plan with a single paneled nave and a flat choir. It features an altarpiece by Nicolas Bouteiller, a chalice and various classified statues and bas-reliefs.

The church of Saint Hilaire would have been built in the 11th century by monks belonging to the bishopric of Le Mans. Over the centuries, the church was enlarged and adapted to the needs of worship. In the 12th century, a high square tower was added to it, resembling a medieval defensive element. In the 13th century, the walls of the nave are covered with numerous wall paintings, completing some of the original ones.

The abbey has a relatively recent building, constructed from 1722. Both majestic and impressive from the top of its imposing silhouette overlooking the banks of the Sarthe, the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Solesmes, founded in 1010, is a mecca for Gregorian chant. Occupied by a community of Benedictine monks, only the abbey church can be visited. The latter contains in its transept masterpieces of the French Renaissance: the Saints of Solesmes, two sculpted ensembles dating from the 15th and 16th centuries.
