Built in Fougères, in Ille-et-Vilaine, in the 12th century, the Saint-Léonard church was rebuilt in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries before being enlarged in the 19th century. Listed in the supplementary inventory of Historical Monuments, this Romanesque-style building is a very fine example of religious architecture in Upper Brittany from the end of the Middle Ages. Without a transept and ending with a flat apse, it has a large nave with side chapels added over the centuries.
Visitors can admire a portal and a magnificent rose window in Flamboyant Gothic style, as well as balusters and gargoyles. Inside, it is possible to discover the oldest stained glass window in Brittany (12th century) from the Abbey of Saint-Denis, as well as a very beautiful Assumption from the 19th century.
In the summer season, the bell tower is accessible to visitors to offer a breathtaking view of the city and its surroundings.
