Saint-Denis Church

Schist and granite church rebuilt in the 16th century.

Its first construction dates from the end of the 1080th century, around 1520. It was then rebuilt at the beginning of the XNUMXth century by one of the lords of "Bois de Belle Femme". The nave was completed around XNUMX thanks to the lord of Thorigné, lord of "Bois Nerbert". It suffered damage during the Wars of Religion (vault burned) and during the Revolution (coat of arms hammered and mutilated). Today it houses the Saint-Denis reliquary (XNUMXth century which contains fragments of Saint-Denis's bones) and that of the True Cross (which contains in a closed glass case a tiny piece of wood from the Cross of Christ at Golgotha ​​even if its true origin remains disputed).
