The patronage of this church has been entrusted to Saint Simeon, who is mentioned in the New Testament. According to the biblical account by Luke, he and the prophetess Anna were the two people present in the Temple in Jerusalem forty days after the birth of Jesus Christ, when Mary and Joseph—following Jewish custom—entered the Temple with their firstborn son and an offering (two doves). The Evangelist records the following prayer on the occasion of this encounter between the elderly Simeon and Jesus as the promised Messiah: "Now, Lord, you are releasing your servant in peace, according to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel." (Luke 2:29-32)

The cathedral (i.e., a bishop's church) in Laval was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as saints, but rather, the ONE God in THREE Persons – God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God's Holy Spirit – was chosen as its patron saint. Father Reinhard Körner writes about the mystery of the Holy Trinity: + "Among the great prayer-givers in the history of Christianity... I found prayer texts in which each of the divine Three was explicitly addressed – in the same prayer. When I tried to recite the texts, I could sense that these people had not only individually envisioned God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit – they were addressing a divine community. And it seemed to me that they could only do this in their written prayers because they also did so otherwise, quietly in their hearts."

This church was not dedicated to one of the many people who died as martyrs (witnesses to their faith) for their Christian beliefs, or whom we venerate as blessed or saints because of their exemplary lives. Rather, this parish has chosen God himself – in the "Holy Trinity" – as its patron saint. According to Christian doctrine, we believe in ONE God, who exists in THREE persons – God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. The following description can be found on the EKD (Evangelical Church in Germany) website: + “The word attempts to express the seemingly impossible, namely that God is simultaneously three and one. To understand this, it helps to consider how people have experienced God throughout history: as a Creator who loves his world and humanity like a father loves his children. As a God who himself became human in Jesus Christ, his Son, and shared human life. And finally, as a God who is still present and alive among people in the Holy Spirit.”

This church is a neo-Romanesque building made of limestone and granite rubble. The architect was Pierre-Aimé Renous. The building houses several works listed as Historic Monuments, including stained-glass windows from the workshop of François Fialeix. Also inside are two wooden altarpieces, statues of the Three Marys from the Seigneurial Chapel, and a statue of Saint Martin from the Chapel of St. Martin.

Romanesque church that preserves superb medieval wall paintings, dating from the mid-13th century, depicting the life of Saint Vigor and the Resurrection of the Dead. Remarkable 17th-century altarpiece with marble and tufa columns, the work of Michel Langlois. Free admission.

The commune of Assé-le-Bérenger owes its name to the Bérenger family who settled in the parish of Assé in the 12th century. The church dedicated to Saint Thuribe holds a prominent place in the town's memory. Completed in 1882, it replaced two former sanctuaries. It notably houses a pulpit, a wooden Christ, and an oil painting. According to legend, Saint Thuribe came to the commune during a period of severe drought. He caused a spring to appear. Currently, the stream feeds the commune's washhouse before flowing into the Erve River. Two statues have been sculpted in honor of Saint Thuribe.

The foundations of Saint-Pierre Church likely date back several centuries, perhaps replacing an older structure. It has witnessed the changes in Voutré, from times of prosperity to more difficult periods. Significant historical events, community celebrations, and local transformations have left their mark on the walls of this church, making it a place where local history comes to life.
