Église Notre-Dame de la Tronchaye, Flamboyant Gothic church in Rochefort-en-Terre, France.
Notre-Dame de la Tronchaye is a church in Rochefort-en-Terre displaying Flamboyant Gothic features, particularly visible on the north facade. The structure combines Romanesque elements with Gothic forms and features a fortified tower at the transept crossing.
The church tower dates back to 1125 and represents one of the oldest parts of the structure. The north facade was rebuilt in 1533 following the Flamboyant Gothic style.
The church's name originates from a legend about a statue of the Virgin Mary discovered in a hollow tree trunk during medieval times. This story remains woven into the local identity of the town.
The church is open to visitors during regular hours and continues to function as an active place of worship in the diocese of Vannes. Check opening times before visiting to plan your trip accordingly.
The choir houses a large polychrome stone altarpiece created in 1610 by Exupère de Larlan. This intricately decorated artwork often goes unnoticed by visitors but rewards a closer look.
