Église Saint-Michel de Saint-Brieuc, Neoclassical church in Saint-Brieuc, France.
The Church of Saint-Michel features a neoclassical architectural style with imposing columns, simple pediments, and clear stone construction typical of nineteenth-century religious buildings in Brittany.
Built between 1837 and 1841 by architect Louis Lorin to replace a thirteenth-century chapel, the church was blessed in 1841 and consecrated in 1875.
The interior houses paintings by Raphaël Donguy and sculptures by Pierre-Marie-François Ogé, representing the academic artistic tradition of the nineteenth century in religious art.
Located in Saint-Brieuc city center, the church remains open for religious services and guided visits during heritage days, with nearby public parking available.
Marshal Ferdinand Foch married Julie Bienvenüe in this church in 1883, and during World War II it secretly housed a clandestine radio transmitter behind the organ.
