Culture and History

The Chapelle des Polonais in Bonne-Fontaine was built in 1923. It formerly served as a school run by nuns, a medical station, and a chapel overseen by a Polish priest. The former Saint-Jean church is dedicated to Saint John the Elder and dates from the 12th to the 17th century; its roof structure dates from the late 16th century.

The Saint-Jacques church was built in 1847, replacing an earlier church from the 12th century. Le Pont in the Les Ponts district dates from the 18th century, crosses the Semnon River, and marks the boundary between Loire-Atlantique and Ille-et-Vilaine.

The 17th-century Saint-Fiacre chapel is located in the Les Ponts district of Soulvache. The Manoir de la Grée was remodelled in the 18th century and has partially burned down.
