À propos du lieu

Eglise St Hilaire

85240 Foussais-Payré

Vendée
Pays de la Loire

The church was built between 1050 and 1100\. It was rebuilt in the 15th century at the same time as the priory, on a rectangular plan. During the wars of religion, the church and the priory suffered enormous damage. In 1568, the church was burned down and probably the priory house. Interior recently fully restored, the JEP are an opportunity to come (re)discover this magnificent building and the quality of this restoration.
