Église Saint-Nicolas de Châteaubriant, Gothic Revival church in Châteaubriant, France.

The Saint-Nicolas church features a high tower reaching 65 meters, along with a large nave, two side aisles, and a transept extending 65 meters in length.

Construction of the Saint-Nicolas church began in 1875 under architects Eugene Boismen and Francois Bougouin, with completion and inauguration occurring in 1894.

The church houses five bells manufactured in 1895 by the Bollee foundry in Le Mans, including the main bell Saint-Nicolas weighing 4,027 kilograms.
