Église Saint-Gilles de Saint-Gilles-sur-Vie, Listed historical monument in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, France.
The church features Romanesque-Byzantine architecture with a stone facade and central bell tower, constructed according to plans by architect Menard from Nantes.
The original ninth-century church, built by monks from Saint-Michel-en-l'Herm, underwent multiple destructions and reconstructions before the current 1896 structure.
The monumental pulpit, crafted in 1896 by stonemason A. Léon des Ormeaux, incorporates a detailed representation of the Croix de Vie port.
The church stands at Place Guy Kergoustin and regularly holds religious services for the local Catholic community.
The Stations of the Cross includes 14 paintings and a lava slab fresco created in 1979 by local artist Henry Simon.
