Monument de saint Guillaume Courtet, Religious monument in Sérignan, France.
The cast iron monument stands as a tribute to Guillaume Courtet, featuring detailed sculptural elements that represent his life and dedication to faith.
The monument, erected in 1887, commemorates Guillaume Courtet, a Dominican priest from Sérignan who became one of the first French missionaries in Japan.
The structure serves as a focal point for religious gatherings and reflects the strong Catholic heritage of the Languedoc region during the late 19th century.
