This neo-Gothic style church saw its first stone laid on July 6, 1880 and was consecrated in 1883. It replaced an old church which dated from the Middle Ages and which was considered too small for masses.

Saint Martin Church

Highlight • Other

The Saint-Martin church has a very ancient origin (11th and 12th centuries). Like many rural churches in the region, it illustrates the multiple architectural transformations undergone over the centuries.

The current nave dates back to the Romanesque period (12th century).
Two centuries separate this restoration from the addition of a small sacristy (1699-1700).
In 1847, a new chapel was built and reserved for the blacksmiths of Gaudinière.
In 1900, a new bell tower with a metal frame, with a slate spire, replaced the old collapsed saddle bell tower. This construction makes the Romanesque facade disappear.

Saint Peter's Church

Highlight • Other

The Chapitrel is the name given to the entrance gate. The period door is in the Renaissance style.
This construction had several functions: It was reserved for catechumens who were not allowed to enter the church and served as a warehouse for farmers who sold at the market on Sunday mornings. The saddleback tower dates from 1545. It is 28 m high. It is square and has four levels. Each floor is separated by an external Roussard belt called a "larmier" which overhangs quite widely, preventing water from running off.
At the top of the roof are two granite crosses, each topped with a copper weather vane representing a crowned dragon's head.
