Martyrdom of Saint Barbara (Champeaux)

Martyrdom window of Saint Barbara in Champeaux

The Martyrdom window of Saint Barbara in the former Ste-Marie-Madeleine collegiate church in Champeaux , a French commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany , was created in the mid-16th century. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1907 as Monument historique .

The two-part window in the choir comes from an unknown workshop. It represents the martyrdom of St. Barbara .

In the tracery (at the top) is the coat of arms of the Epinay family . The window was probably made around 1554, shortly after the death of Guy d'Epinay.

In 1868 the window was restored by Hubert de Sainte-Marie, with small additions being made.
