Quelaines: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Culture and history

The Chapelle du Pré-Guyon was built around 1652 and is located approximately 1,500 metres from the town centre, at the Astillé-Quelaines-Origné junction. Behind the chapel stands a calvary with a red crucifix in honour of Notre-Dame-de-Pontmain. After the village church had been destroyed, the Chapelle du Pré-Guyon made it possible for religious services to continue in Quelaines.

Another notable building is the Manoir du Buat. It was built in 1544 and belonged to the counts of the family of the same name. From 1738 onwards, the Manoir du Buat was used as a presbytery.
