Crucifixion window Maxent (Ille-et-Vilaine)

Crucifixion window in Maxent

The crucifixion window in the Catholic Church of St-Maxent in Maxent , a French parish in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , was created around 1560. The stained glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1919 as Monument historique .

The window in the vestibule comes from an unknown workshop. It was taken over from the old church in the new church built in 1893. Only the crucifixion of Jesus with Mary Magdalene on the left is largely original. The decoration and the frame were made by Atelier Rault at the beginning of the 20th century.

As an inscription in the lower area says, the restoration was financed by the entrepreneur Gombaud, Mayor of Guer . Above the cross is written in a band: In memory of the former church of Maxent.
