@Les Mées

Visit of the 16th century Saint-Malo church
the Saint-Malo church of the 16th century. Polychrome terracotta statues of the Virgin and Saint Barbe (17th or 18th century) and Christ in wood. Altarpiece of the high altar of 1755 in polychrome stone.
Former priory of Boulay XIIIe.
Former rectory of the eighteenth.
The oldest parts of this church seem to date back to the Middle Ages, but the building was very redesigned in the 16th century.
The side chapels were added at that time, as was the opening of the large chancel canopy.
The steeple, restored in the 19th century, is covered with slate.
Inside the church, two polychrome statues attract attention. One of La Vierge in terracotta, the other of Sainte Barbe in stone, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
A wooden Christ is also noteworthy.
The wooden stalls date from the 18th c. and the altarpiece of the high altar (1755).
The wrought iron communion grid dating from the 18th century is still in place.
Its ornamentation in Rocaille style is frequent at this time.
Until 1911, the church was surrounded by its cemetery.
Two paintings of the church "Immaculate Conception" of the altarpiece of the Virgin and "Baptism of Christ" of the altarpiece of John the Baptist restored in 2021 and 2022.
