For a long time, there was no other church than the collegiate church in the castle. The new parish church, whose construction date remains uncertain, was consecrated in 1327 by Jean de Marigny under the name of Saint Samson, Bishop of Dol-de-Bretagne. The chapel windows feature magnificent stained-glass windows, some dating back to the 16th century. It's a delight to gaze upon the colorful, richly colored stained-glass windows! 👍
