Flamboyant Gothic church with granite altarpieces, miraculous statue and slate bell tower.

Situated at the foot of Fougères castle and listed as a Historic Monument, Saint-Sulpice church was founded in the 11th century and rebuilt in the 15th, 16th and 18th centuries. Built in the flamboyant Gothic style, it is one of the richest churches in Brittany. It features stained-glass windows by Fougerais master stained-glass artist Pierre Symon (16th century) and a nave framed like the hull of an overturned ship. Inside, two 15th-century granite altarpieces, Louis XV woodwork and a 13th-century miraculous statue of Notre-Dame-des-Marais. The pointed slate bell tower dates from the 15th century. A must-see!

Église magnifique ou règne une sérénité spirituelle, une architecture intérieure mélangeant bois et pierre.

Una de nuestras sorpresas fue visitar esta Iglesia situada en una falda del castillo de Fougeres. Vale la pena visitarla y ver sus vidrieras, ademas se realizan conciertos de piano, se hecho estuvimos escuchando como ensayaba. Muy recomendable si se visita el castillo

A unique religious edifice. Even though it’s mentioned that it’s a gothic church, I felt like it had a different influence. A relic of Saint Viviane is kept in a glass coffin

Très belle église avec des décorations intérieures en bois sculpté.
Dans un style très différent de l'église de la ville haute, les 2 se complètent.
Ce monument à aussi comme point positif d'être situé juste à côté du château, je recommande sa visite en complément de ce dernier.

Une très belle église bretonne située en contrebas des remparts de la forteresse de Fougères.
L'intérieur est harmonieux. La nef, le cœur et les chapelles annexes sont riches d'œuvres d'art. Un très beau baptistère de style baroque est présent.
Une belle visite à faire.
