Montreuil-Sur-Brèche: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Saint-Pierre Church in Montreuil-sur-Brèche was rebuilt in 1477 at the initiative of the local feudal lord, Jean de Gouy. Its tower and spire are octagonal and clad in slate; sixteen stained-glass windows illuminate the church. It houses a painting of the Last Supper by Martin de Vos, created in the second half of the 16th century, which was designated a Monument historique in 2009.

The stained-glass windows of Saint-Pierre Church were commissioned around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Two polychrome wooden statues dating from around the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries were also recorded there.
