Église Saint-Jean de Béré, Romanesque church in Châteaubriant, France
The Saint-Jean de Béré Church features a Latin cross layout with schist walls, a tufa bell tower, and slate roofing covering different sections.
The church construction began in 1010, with additions in the 12th century including the transept and choir, before receiving historical monument status in 1906.
The choir stained glass windows depict scenes from Saint John the Baptist's life, while two other windows narrate events of Saint Victorian and Saint Anne.
The church welcomes visitors year-round, accommodating both individuals and groups of 15 to 40 people, with guided tours available in French.
The Ecce Homo chapel contains baptismal fonts and a relic cabinet depicting Saint Victorian beneath a dome supported by a polygonal bell tower.
