Culture and history
The former Château in La Garnache is partially protected as a Monument historique. The motte-and-bailey castle mound next to the Château already existed in the 10th century and was equipped with a wooden keep.
The Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption was built from 1899 onwards and completed in 1926 in the Neo-Romanesque style. It houses high-quality furnishings and a remarkable banner commemorating the Battle of Lepanto. The Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire dates back to the 14th century and was extensively restored in the 18th century by Father de Montfort.
La Garnache’s heritage trail presents local legends, historic monuments and preserved traditions. The Grand'Rue follows a winding route that recalls La Garnache’s former fortified medieval town centre.
