Saint-Samson Church of Clermont

Saint-Samson Church is a fine example of Gothic architecture dating from the 12th century. You can admire its stained glass windows, its organ and its bas-relief representing a corpse, as well as the ruins of the medieval castle which are located next to it. The church is located on a hill which offers a panoramic view of the valley and the plain.

For a long time there was no other church than the collegiate church in the castle. The new parish church, the date of construction of which remains uncertain, was consecrated in 1327 by Jean de Marigny under the name of Saint Samson, Bishop of Dol-de-Bretagne. The chapel windows feature magnificent stained glass windows, some of which date back to the 16th century. It is a pleasure to look at the colorful stained glass windows! 👍
