The Church Saint Pierre of Sérent, part II !!

I like to bring you back to my beautiful Morbihan and its small picturesques towns on the off the beaten path. I like to update this post with new text and links on Sérent to you. Again, found older pictures new to the blog and they should be in it, Do read/see my other post for more ! Therefore here is my take on the Church Saint Pierre of Sérent, part II !! Hope you enjoy the post as I. serent-ch-st-pierre-chapel-st-pierre-oct21 The Church Saint Pierre (St Peter)was built in the 15-16C, in the shape of a Latin cross: 3 naves, 2 transepts and a choir. The choir is from the 15C and its decoration from the classical period. The 3 naves date from the 16C and the central nave measures 37 by 20 meters. All around the church, magnificent stained-glass windows represent the patrons of the various chapels of the parish and the names of the donors. A false gargoyle representing a washer kneeling with her dog, recalls the legend of the barkers of Josselin. serent-ch-st-pierre-nave-wall-oct21 The stained-glass window of the “Sacred Heart of the Calvary of Saint Suzanne”, dates from 1893-1898. The Pietà, in oak wood, dates from the 16C. The church contains a silver chalice coated with gold, which dates from 1672. In the past and from 1300, we could see the tomb of the Sérent family, the preeminent lords. Jean de Sérent, Lord of Tromeur, is exhumed there in a white marble tomb, adorned with a reclining statue. serent-ch-st-pierre-stained-glass-window-oct21 The town of Sérent on its heritagehttps://www.serent.fr/tourisme/a-decouvrir/le-patrimoine.html There you go folks, a picturesque little town of Sérent ,in the countryside of the Morbihan.
