Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Visitation de La Quinte, church building in La Quinte, France
The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Visitation is a church building located in La Quinte, France. It features the typical layout and construction of a French parish church with a main nave and supporting architectural elements common to structures of this kind.
The parish church of La Quinte was rebuilt in the 19th century, replacing an earlier medieval building; the present nave and bell tower date from that campaign. It is dedicated to the Visitation of Mary, a feast kept on 2 July. The church long served as the village's main gathering place, and its bells marked the hours for the surrounding farms.
The church stands in the village centre of La Quinte, in the Sarthe department, and can be reached on foot from the surrounding streets. Parking is available in the village. The building is a parish church in active use, so visits are best timed outside services.
