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

The Saint Maximilien Kolbe Church features white tuffeau stone construction with Byzantine-style arches separating the nave from the side aisles.

The church, designed by architect Arthur Regnault in 1875, replaced an earlier structure from the 16th and 17th centuries and received classification as a historical monument in 2004.

The church changed its patron saint from Peter to Maximilian Kolbe in 2011, reflecting the recognition of modern Catholic martyrs in French religious heritage.

Located 20 kilometers south of Rennes, the church underwent significant restoration work between 2011 and 2012, including repairs to the bell tower and gold-leafed cross.

The church interior served as a filming location for a German propaganda film about wheat threshing in Ukraine during the 1941 occupation.
