An early Christian hexagonal baptistery, the remains of which were revealed when an elementary school was built in 1956.
During construction of a new elementary school in 1956, excavations revealed the remains of an early Christian baptistery. With its hexagonal shape, the original baptistery is the only one to have been found north of the Loire. What remains today are the 9-metre-wide foundations and the 60-centimetre-deep basin. Estimated to date from the 6th century, it has been listed as a Monument Historique since July1, 1958.

Le Baptistère de Portbail 50580 Port-Bail-Sur-Mer
Le Baptistère de Port-Bail-Sur-Mer se trouve derrière la Mairie. C'est une construction inhabituelle et curieuse. Il est également intéressant à découvrir en visite libre car le bassin et l’intérieur du baptistère s'observent seulement depuis la grille fermée. Des panneaux apportent des explications très instructives. A voir par curiosité !
