Église Notre-Dame-de-Bonabry de Fougères

The church features a high base of gray granite, a triple-arched portal supported by carved capitals, and a semi-hexagonal staircase at the entrance.

Construction began in 1891 with the nave completed by 1893, followed by the transept in 1903 and the choir in 1925, under architects Henri Mellet and Charles Coüasnon.

Located in the Bonabry district near the former railway station, this church reflects the development of the local shoe manufacturing community in the late 19th century.

The church contains a Latin cross layout with four bays, side aisles for circulation, and an ambulatory connecting to four small apses around the choir.

The non-figurative geometric stained glass windows, created by Karl Mauméjean, replaced the original windows destroyed during the June 1944 bombings.
