COLLEGE NOTRE-DAME DE GRANDE PUISSANCE
Classified as a historic monument in 1848, the college Notre-Dame-de-Grande-Power was originally the chapel of the castle of the Penthièvre, whose county was created in 1023 for Eudon, a younger son of Geoffroy I, Duke of Brittany. It is located in the enclosed enclosure of the noble fortification. The latter was disbanded in 1420 after the Champtoceaux attack against the young Duke Jean V. After partial reconstruction, the castle was completely razed in 1626. Only the church escapes from ruin. Its architecture par by its diversity. This is explained by the duration of its construction, disturbed by the vagaries of the history of the. Originally Romanesque, enlarged in Gothic, it underwent very important restorations from 1514 to 1519, after the collapse of the north-west angle in 1514, and others still in the th century, which complete the confusion of styles. The architecture is a testament to the dual cultural and military aspects of the building. In 1995, contemporary windows were made.
