Church of Saint-Sulpice
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.
About this building
The nave is built in the shape of an upside-down boat hull, the 18th century rocaille-style choir, the Louis XV wainscoting, the medieval granite altarpieces, the 16th century stained glass windows, all the work of master glassmaker Pierre Symon from Fougères. To the left of the lanef, the altarpiece dedicated to Notre Dame des Marais is one of the rare medieval granite altarpieces preserved in Brittany, along with the tanners' altarpiece in the mortuary chapel. Outside, the sculptures are striking in the fantasy of their inspiration. In particular, you will find the gargoyle known as "the Satyr" and the sculpture of the fairy Mélusine above the south door of the church.
