Apostle window (Maël-Pestivien)

Apostle window in Maël-Pestivien

The Apostle Window in the Catholic Church of St-Laurent in Maël-Pestivien , a French parish in the Côtes-d'Armor department of Brittany , was created in the 16th century. The stained glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1964 as Monument historique .

The window in the choir was created by an unknown workshop. It shows four apostles on two lancets : Petrus and Andreas (left), Simon and Matthias (right). In the tracery are the three angels Arma Christi to see.

In addition to the apostle window, the passion window in the church from the Renaissance period has been preserved.
