Life of Saint Mathurin (Moncontour)
The Life of Saint Mathurin window in the Notre-Dame-St-Mathurin Catholic Church in Moncontour , a French parish in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany , was created in the first quarter of the 16th century. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1862 as Monument historique .
The window in the choir was created by an unknown workshop. It shows various scenes from the life of St. Mathurin (see captions).
In addition to the Life of St. Mathurin window, five other windows from the Renaissance period have been preserved in the church (see navigation bar).
