Église Sainte-Croix de Croix-de-Vie, Roman Catholic church in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, France.

The church displays Romanesque-Byzantine architecture with a stone facade and a bell tower added in 1897, designed by architect Menard from Nantes.

The Bishop of Luçon authorized the construction of this new church in 1895 to replace the previous structure from 1610 that had been demolished.

The monumental pulpit, created in 1896 by local stonemason A. Léon des Ormeaux, features multiple symbolic figures and historical representations of the region.

Located in Place Guy Kergoustin in the Croix de Vie district, this religious building serves as one of two main churches in the town.

An angel sculpture above the pulpit stairs marks the year 1896, while images below display the port with the steeples of Saint-Gilles and Sainte-Croix.
