Eglise St-Medard
BALLON-SAINT MARS
The Church of Saint Laurent has a panelled ceiling, a choir organ with pipes and a typical slate bell tower known as a swallow's b
It was originally the chapel of the Notre Dame priory. It was dedicated to Saint Cyr in 1604 and became the parish church.
Remarkable for its twisted belltower and Anjou “Plantagenet” architecture, the church has retained a profound unity.
The chapel was founded in February 1400 by Nicolas Febvre, chaplain to the hospital, so that the sick could attend services.
