I am again in my road warrior mode in my beautiful Morbihan, coming back for memories of places visited with the family and new pictures. When I came into the Morbihan these were two different towns, and later they merged into today’s Theix-Noyalo. Hope you enjoy it as I.
The Church Sainte Cécile ; dating from the gothic period which made it go back to the 12C at least, and perhaps even the 11C. The chapel of the left wing had been rebuilt in 1700, and was under the term of Saint Isidore.It went over many rénovations in the 17C and 18C ; rebuilt between 1852-55 in the Romanesque or Gothic, which is restored in the 17-18C ,and many interior renovation from 1880 to 1900.
The painting titled “Décollation de Sainte Catherine”, dates from the 17C. The furniture like the pulpit, the altarpieces of the lateral altars and several statues including that of St. Cecilia dates from the 19C. The statue of Sainte Cécile was placed, in 1895, in the niche of the tower.
The current Church Sainte Cécile dates from the end of the 19C and replaced the old church which was too damaged. A statue of Sainte Cécile, patroness of musicians, is placed above the entrance porch.
