Basilique Notre-Dame-des-Miracles de Mayenne, Minor basilica in Mayenne, France.
The Basilica Notre-Dame-des-Miracles is a church in Mayenne that blends architectural elements spanning the 12th, 16th, and 19th centuries. A monumental staircase leads visitors up to its entrance.
Construction began in 1110 to replace a small shrine dedicated to Saint Anne. Written records documenting this place first appear in 1124.
The basilica serves as a pilgrimage destination where the faithful gather to pray and seek spiritual connection. It remains a central place of worship for the local Catholic community.
Regular Catholic services are held here, with special masses scheduled for Christmas and other religious holidays. Visitors should check opening times in advance.
Inside the basilica are modern stained glass windows from the 1950s depicting scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. These windows replaced originals that were destroyed during World War II.
