Saint-Guénolé, Batz-sur-Mer, Gothic parish church in Batz-sur-Mer, France.

The Saint-Guénolé church features a 60-meter stone tower with pinnacles, offering views over the surrounding salt marshes of Loire-Atlantique.

Built during the 15th and 16th centuries, the church stands on the site of an older sanctuary dedicated to Saint Cyr and Saint Julitta.

The interior displays 17th-century organs, Gothic arches supported by solid pillars, and a wooden vault shaped like a ship's hull.

The tower opens daily from April to November, with admission prices of 3 euros for adults and 1 euro for children under 12.

The church tower, completed in 1677, replaced two wooden structures that were destroyed by lightning in 1603 and 1657.
