The construction of this church began in the 10th century. In the 11th century a large fire destroyed a large part of the church, but later the church was rebuilt. It was rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries, possibly thanks to the generosity of the Dukes of Brissac. It has been a historic monument since 1974. There are statues of gargoyles on the facade which are quite remarkable. For mass it is the 1st Saturday of the month at 6:00 p.m.

It is an artistic and cultural place. Built on the site of the feudal manor of Plessis-Guériff, the current castle dates from 1722. Partly destroyed during the Hundred Years' War, it has retained a 15th century wing which is still visible today. You can explore the sculpture park and take part in artistic workshops. It is also a hotel. For all information and reservations click here: https://www.chateaudesperes.fr/en
