Church of Saint-Léonard
Founded in the 12th century, rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries, the church was disoriented and enlarged in the 19th century and equipped with a portal and a rose window six metres in diameter in flamboyant gothic style. Outside, the building conceals many curiosities, notably on the north façade with its balusters and its curious gargoyles. The south chapel houses the oldest stained glass window (12th century) in Brittany, which comes from the abbey of Saint-Denis near Paris and the Assumption a painting by Achille Dévéria from 1835. The north chapel holds a painting by Eugène Dévéria (19th century). The church tower can be visited during the high season.
About this building
Church begun in 1380, with side chapels dating from the 15th and 16th century, completely transformed and enlarged in 1877. At that time, the building was extended by two bays to the west, in which the choir was placed. The old sanctuary was replaced by a flamboyant Gothic portal. The bell tower was surmounted by a gallery and a campanile topped by a dome. The primitive chapels have been transformed into aisles. The north side is flanked by six ancient gables with a gallery with balusters along the gutter. The second bay from the tower is pierced by a door, decorated with leaves and figures. The next window is decorated in its archivolt with Adam and Eve and other figures in foliage.
