Located in the heart of the village, opposite the Castle, the church of Plessis-Macé dating from the fifteenth century and dedicated to Saint Pierre, stands out by its bell tower with square base, its arrow of slate with eight sides, its high sloping roof and its chimney (extremely rare in our churches), which rises from the old chapel.
It was erected in 1472 on the remains of the first church destroyed in 1350 during the Hundred Years War. Built at the expense of Louis de Beaumont, lord of Plessis-Macé, it had the privilege of being consecrated in 1474 in the same way as the basilicas or cathedrals – 14 crosses having in their center a flame stick still testify to this consecration.
The church is not classified, but the three stained glass windows that date from its construction – the adjoining choir and chapels – have been protected as Historic Monuments since 1980. The same applies to one of the four bells of the bell tower, which is dated 1699.
