About the location

Eglise de Noyalo

Rue Sainte Brigitte 56450 Theix-Noyalo

The church of Noyalo was dedicated for centuries to Saint Brigitte. In the 18th century, the present church was built to replace the original sanctuary. At the same time, contrary to the law, Saint Anne was substituted for the former titular, although a statue of Saint Brigitte was always kept inside the church.
