Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Historical church in Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne, France.
The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church features a Latin cross layout with three naves, a transept, and a hemicycle apse under a copper-covered roof.
The current church building replaced an earlier structure that burned down in 1881, leading to a reconstruction project that incorporated Second Empire architectural elements.
The interior decorations, completed between 1891 and 1896, include stained glass windows, side altars, and sculptures that reflect French artistic traditions.
The church remains an active religious center where visitors can attend services and observe architectural details during designated opening hours.
The building's facade incorporates both smooth cut stone and embossed masonry, creating a distinctive pattern that stands out in the urban landscape.
