SAINT SULPICE CHURCH
Go there and contact
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!

Desde el interior puede observarse la belleza de las vidrieras de colores que cuentan las leyendas de Notre-Dame-des-Marais. Otra curiosidad que esconde esta antígua iglesia es en los contrafuertes exteriores, en ellos puedes encontrar esculpidos representaciones de los 7 pecados capitales (orgullo, codicia, lujuria, gula, envidia, pereza e ira).
Vale la pena la visita.
Aún no siendo muy grande vale la pena visitarla, suele estar abierta y accesible al visitante.
Les vitraux, réalisés entre 1885 et 1926 (excepté quelques morceaux datant de 1558) sont vraiment superbes. A noter la présence de 3 poilus intégrés à la foule du cortège sur le vitrail patriotique de Jeanne d'Arc : ce vitrail fut offert à la paroisse par des familles de la ville ayant perdus leurs fils lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. Respects.
