Visite "Le Vitrail à La Ferté-Bernard"

Description

On this tour, you'll discover the church of Notre-Dame-des-Marais in La Ferté-Bernard as an exceptional centre for the creation of stained-glass windows, thanks to its array of early stained-glass windows dating from the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century, as well as those created or restored in the 19th century. You will then be able to observe the influence of this important corpus on those of the Saint-Lyphard chapel, illustrating local history and created in the 1990s, before taking a look at the creation of civil stained glass windows in the early 20th century. Meet in front of the church of Notre-Dame-des-Marais, place Carnot, La Ferté-Bernard. This programme is part of the exhibition Peindre la lumière, le vitrail en Sarthe, 19e - 21e siècles, on show at the Musée Jean-Claude Boulard - Carré Plantagenêt in Le Mans until 31 October 2026.
