Mortagne-sur-Sèvre, an ancient medieval town, is a place steeped in history right up to the present day...
The chapel was founded in February 1400 by Nicolas Febvre, chaplain to the hospital, so that the sick could attend services.
The first church is thought to have been built on this site around 1200.
This church is dedicated to Saint-Maixent, who attracts pilgrims thanks to his reputation as a healer.
