The Catholic parish church of St-Sauveur in Saint-Sauveur-des-Landes , a French parish in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany , was built in the 12th century. The church dedicated to the Savior (French Sauveur ) was originally the church of the priory of the Marmoutier Abbey , founded in 1040. It only became a parish church in 1325.

From the time of the Romanesque are arcades of the nave , the south wall and the apse with the four windows get. From the 15th to the 19th century there were many alterations: a baptistery was added to the southwest and the sacristy was added. The western entrance with a bell tower was built in 1864.
