Tips

Building created by a "visionary" architect, Nicolas Jacques Antoine Vestier, on the site of an earlier building. The building is preceded by a peristyle supported by six pyramidal pilasters which support a large frieze continuing around the church. The front of the peristyle is surmounted by a pediment containing an archivolt. Behind the chevet, the tower serves as a steeple. The church is, on the outside, built on a rectangular plan. Inside, the apse ends in a circular section vaulted in a dome. The ornamentation of the church is represented by the furniture, in harmony with the construction. Towards the end of the 19th century, the interior surfaces were coated with a decal.

This church in Meslay-Le-Vidame, whose architecture reflects the formal language of antiquity, was dedicated to the patron saint of Saint Etienne. He was one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem church and, according to the biblical accounts in the New Testament, the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on Boxing Day, December 26th.

As the Acts of the Apostles recounts: When Stephen recounted his vision of the open heavens, "And he, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Chapter 7, Verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.
