Église Saint-Gilles de Malestroit, Historic church in Malestroit, France.
Saint-Gilles Church features a double nave structure with two bell towers and distinctive red sandstone walls marking its earliest sections.
Construction began in 1144, with major expansions in the 12th century and a second nave added during the 16th century north of the first.
The church displays sculptures of fantastic creatures and biblical symbols, including dragons, sphinxes, and representations of evangelists through animal figures.
The monument opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore its architectural elements and medieval artworks.
During restoration work in 2011, workers discovered previously unknown 13th-century paintings on the vault of the church crossing.
