Church Saint-Jacques

Monument in Clisson

The St. Jacques Church Clisson, in Loire-Atlantique, was built in the twelfth century, while serving a Benedictine priory founded in the eleventh century which welcomed pilgrims to Saint Jacques de Compostela.

Its simple architecture, Romanesque followed a traditional plan (without collateral nave, transept, vaulted apse, a square bell tower dominating the cross).

Parish became the fifteenth century, the church is home to the meetings of the Third Estate in 1789 and during the Revolution, is celebrated civil marriages.

Used as a warehouse in the nineteenth century, the building deteriorates and loses its transept, apse and bell tower.

Listed on the Inventory in 1941, the church was purchased by the city in 1967 and is home for a cultural space.

We still remark on the west front door pointed arch and a narrow splayed window. Furthermore, the side walls are supported by buttresses and pierced with arched windows. Finally, at the nave, framed pits observed astonishing carved crocodile heads.

On the south side of the building, a medieval garden was laid. Information at +33 2 40 80 17 80.
