Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Challans, Catholic church in Challans, France.

The Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church features a neo-Gothic design with its bell tower standing fifty meters away from the main building.

While the original church dates back to the 11th century, the current structure was completed in 1897 following a complete reconstruction.

The north chapel houses a 6th-century Merovingian cross, representing one of the oldest Christian artifacts in the Vendée region.

The church holds regular masses throughout the week, with special services scheduled for religious holidays and commemorative events.

The church contains a Rémi Mahler organ, installed in 2003, featuring seven pedal combinations, an unusual characteristic for this type of instrument.
