Circuit guidé "Le vitrail, de la fin du Moyen Âge au XIXe siècle"

Description

On this tour, you'll discover the jewels of stained glass in the Perche Sarthois region, in particular the 35 stained glass windows dating from the late 15th to the 19th century in the church of Notre-Dame-des-Marais in La Ferté-Bernard. They bear witness to the development of this art form and the influence exerted by this remarkable centre of creativity on the surrounding parishes in the 16th century.
