L'Huisserie church is a Romanesque building with a single nave dating from the 11th century.
The church of Saint-Siméon-Stylite
This church is characterised by its Romanesque construction (small arched windows on the north wall) with a single nave dating from the 11th century.
The church underwent alterations in 1837 and received a new blessing. Two side chapels forming a transept were added to the original plan, the altar was moved to the back of the nave and a square bell tower was built over a cupola. The bell tower was added in 1848.
Inside, the church has a single nave with a wooden vault, small Romanesque arched windows and larger, more recent windows (mid-19th century). The plan is in the shape of a Latin cross, with a transept consisting of two chapels and a flat apse.
The church was burnt down by the Chouans in 1795 because it had been used as a stable by the Republican army since 1794. It was restored in 1977, and excavations revealed around ten skeletons, fire pots and urns in the choir dating from the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
Furnishings :
Altarpieces dating from 1753 dedicated to Saint-Julien and the Virgin, and baptismal fonts from the 16th century. In the transept, the altarpieces are of late Laval style, and therefore modest, with statues, pink marble columns from Saint-Berthevin, cherubs' heads, flowers and gilded Corinthian capitals.
