Église Notre-Dame de la Tronchaye, Flamboyant Gothic church in Rochefort-en-Terre, France.

Notre-Dame de la Tronchaye church combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements with a fortified tower at its transept crossing.

The church tower dates from 1125, while the north facade was rebuilt in 1533 following the Flamboyant Gothic style.

Local tradition tells of a Virgin Mary statue found in a hollow tree trunk during the 12th century, which influenced the church's name.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and continues to serve as an active place of worship in the diocese of Vannes.

A large polychrome stone altarpiece from 1610, created by Exupère de Larlan, stands at the back of the choir.
