The town of Muzillac is located in my beautiful department 56 of Morbihan in the lovely Bretagne region and in my belle France. It is located 30 km from Vannes, our capital City, and 57 km from my house, I like to tell you again with some same text using new found older pictures that should be in my blog. Therefore, let me tell you a bit more of the Church Sainte Thèrése of Muzillac, part II !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The former Saint-Pol church which sat proudly on the heights of the city and was visible from the sea. But a clap of thunder at 02h30 on the night of November 23 to 24, 1929 slowly set the church ablaze, which could not be saved. The price of a restoration was such that it was decided a few months later by the municipal council to rebuild another, more in the center of the town, on land donated by Mademoiselle Mauduit. The new Church Sainte Thérèse was consecrated on April 4, 1934 , The stained glass windows were made during the 1950s , Finally, a small steeple was placed in the 1950s on the roof, instead of the tower planned at the entrance.

The Church Sainte Thérése. Is an imposing church by its mass, its elevation and the regularity of its plan in form of a Latin cross , It is of neo-Romanesque architecture. The crisis of the 1930s consumed the budget and the bell tower was not built. It houses crosses, chalices and patens from the 17C and 19C, The dating was easy to achieve thanks to three hallmarks (date, goldsmith and region) , Two paintings (17C), representing a regular canon, came to be restored., The sculptures of the Way of the Cross and holy water fonts were inspired by the “Seiz Breur” an artistic movement created by a group of Breton artists between the two world wars,

In addition to the high altar, there are two lateral altars: the altar located in the west houses the statues of Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus and of St. Anthony of Padua; the other altar located opposite houses the statues of Sainte Anne, the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. Indeed a lovely church, well done,
