This church stands in the middle of the countryside, you can see it from afar, it is magnificent! The bell tower in the form of a "bulb", characteristic of the Byzantine style, made it pass for an Orthodox church, while it is just linked to the originality of the architect in 1875. Anecdote of the German occupation: in 1941, the Nazi propaganda filmed a film there ("Threshing wheat in Ukraine") to make believe in an advance of German troops in Ukraine (against the Soviet Union). Until 2011, the church was under the patronage of St. Peter the Apostle. On this date, his patronage was changed to that of Saint-Maximilien-Kolbé (1894-1941), a Polish priest with exceptional charisma, especially in the face of Nazism. Held in the Auschwitz concentration camp, he offered himself to take the place of a father sentenced to death. He was canonized (recognized as a "saint" by the Catholic Church in Rome) in 1982.

"The building, which is intriguing at first sight by its Neobyzantine bulbous bell tower, is signed by the French architect Arthur Regnault, born in 1839 in Bain-de-Bretagne, who died in 1932. Centralian by training, we owe the construction to him many churches in Ille-et-Vilaine. He is best known for its Western-inspired churches such as the Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc church in Rennes or the churches of Saint-Senoux and Corps-Nuds with the bell towers in Neobyzantine bulbs, very atypical in the Breton landscape ".
