Église Saint-Maximilien Kolbe de Corps-Nuds, Catholic church in Corps-Nuds, France.

Église Saint-Maximilien-Kolbe is a Catholic church in the centre of Corps-Nuds, built from 1887 on 1875 plans. Its interior is of white tuffeau, with the nave separated from the side aisles by round-arched openings whose profile recalls a Byzantine bulb. Two massive cylindrical columns with carved capitals frame the sanctuary arch, and a statue of a bishop stands on the left, a statue of the Virgin on the right.

The building was designed by architect Arthur Regnault in 1875 and replaced an earlier structure dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It received the official classification as a historical monument in France in 2004.

Until 16 October 2011 the church was dedicated to the apostle Peter; it then took as patron Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941), canonised in 1982. The change of dedication is recalled in the building's present name, which visitors see on the church.

The church sits about 20 kilometers south of Rennes and is easily accessible by car from the city center. Visitors should note that the interior may be occupied during Sunday services.

The interior was used as a filming location in 1941 for a German propaganda film about grain threshing in Ukraine during the occupation. This unusual use of the sacred space is rarely known and shows how historical buildings served unexpected purposes during wartime.
