SAINT-MACLOU CHURCH
This church, dedicated to a Breton saint, is one of the town's jewels.
The church of Saint-Maclou is one of the town’s jewels. It is dedicated to a Breton saint, also known as Malo. As early as the 10th century, a chapel dedicated to the saint was built in this area, which was then located outside the city walls. In 1432, the building collapsed in the middle. A new construction was planned in 1437, based on plans by Pierre Robin. The monument was consecrated in 1527. The Saint-Maclou church escaped the bombardments of June 1944, although part of the chevet and chapels collapsed.
