Chapel Sainte-Anne de la Chevalerie

The new glass building has a remarkable architectural asset: it is a link between the Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance styles. This transition from one style to the other is very visible on the south façade. This one also has a rarity: a beautiful pulpit to preach outside where the preachers of the Counter-Reformation could unleash themselves against the Huguenots... installed in the building opposite, across the street!

The architect of the building was a Benedictine monk, Dom Jules Mellet, associated with his brother, Henri. Both his names can be found in the design of the pulpit and the capitals. The church of Saint-Martin surprises by its size and the width of its nave. It has some very beautiful neo-Romanesque capitals and a large pulpit for preaching, in the style of 19th century creations. The church remains to this day the most important neo-Romanesque building in Ille-et-Vilaine. This church also has large organs and choir organs.

Founded in the 11th century to the south of the castle, rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries in a flamboyant Gothic style, completed for the choir in the 18th century, the church of St Sulpice is one of the richest in Brittany. A major element of the heritage of Fougerais, the church of St Sulpice was classified as a historic monument on 26 September 1910.
