Église Saint Jean Baptiste

It originally consisted of a simple nave built in the 15th and 16th centuries, and whose straight chancel was rebuilt in 1700.

The church, thus restored, was solemnly blessed by the rector on August 2, 1761.

In 1806, a chapel dedicated to Saint Margaret was added to the south, and in 1818, to the north, the tower was partly redone, with at its base the chapel of the Virgin Mary.

The lord Du Val, at Saint-Didier, has in the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste a tomb where Jean de La Porte, lord Du Val, was buried in 1618, and in 1761 Suzanne Marion, daughter of lord Du Val and widow of Charles Du Boispéan.

M. de Guersans, vicar general, erected the confraternity of the Holy Spirit at Saint-Jean-sur-Vilaine on June 25, 1746.

Several foundations exist in this church: that of Le Poirier, that of La Bâte, that of La Porte.

Jeanne Guyot, lady of La Hamonais, founded an annuity of 36 livres for the maintenance of candles during the octave of the Blessed Sacrament.

The construction of the old church, razed in 1880, was attributed to the lord of Gué. The current church was built between 1880 and 1885 by the contractor Jean-Marie Huchet, based on plans by architect Aristide Folie. The furniture program was designed by Arthur Regnault between 1880 and 1900. The oldest stained glass windows are signed Claudius Lavergne et Fils.

This church has a Latin cross plan and a porch bell tower at the facade. The interior is divided into three naves covered by false vaults on ribbed vaults. Neo-Gothic style. Spire not built.
