EGLISE SAINT JEAN BAPTISTE

Push open the door of this Romanesque church and discover its remarkable crypt.

Completed in the second half of the 11th century, this is the "mother" church of Château-Gontier, which was both a Benedictine priory and a parish church in the 11th century. A Romanesque church, its restoration has returned some of its original features: a wooden vaulted nave, a rare dome on pendentives above the choir, a remarkable crypt and a fine collection of wall paintings (12th and 13th centuries).
