Life of Saint Martin (Romillé)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Window Life of Saint Martin in Romillé

The Life of Saint Martin window in the parish church of St Martin in Romillé , a French commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , was created in 1555. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1906 as Monument historique .

The central window in the choir , donated by the Saint-Gilles family, comes from an unknown workshop. It shows scenes from the life of St. Martin , the patron saint of the church.

The church windows were damaged in a fire in 1923. In 1924 they were restored by the Desjardin workshop in Angers .
