Saint Martin of Tours Church, Vern-sur-Seiche

Highlight • Religious Site

The current church is placed under the protection of Saint-Martin-de-Tours, a famous Roman legionary from the 3rd century who cut his coat in two to clothe a poor destitute. Having become a monk, the inhabitants of Tours forced him to become their bishop.

The church is located on the site of the old building which is said to date back to the 8th century but no trace of it remains. A new church was rebuilt in 1646.
The bell tower was restored after the fire of 1911.

Châteaugiron Castle

Highlight • Castle

The first castle of Châteaugiron was built in the middle of the 11th century by Anquetil, a Norman knight, who had received the lands from Alan III, Duke of Brittany. The oldest part of the current castle is the castle's Romanesque chapel dating from the 12th century. Probably in the 13th century, Châteaugiron castle was rebuilt as a stone fortress.
Currently the Château de Châteaugiron fulfills several functions; its main body is used as a town hall, the other parts are used as offices and the independent keep is used for exhibitions.

It is an artistic and cultural place.
Built on the site of the feudal manor of Plessis-Guériff, the current castle dates from 1722. Partly destroyed during the Hundred Years' War, it has retained a 15th century wing which is still visible today.
You can explore the sculpture park and take part in artistic workshops.
It is also a hotel. For all information and reservations click here:
