Explanatory panels are available on site.
- Church of Notre-Dame-de l'Assomption (listed as a Historic Monument)
The church is one of the rare examples of a complete construction from the 15th and 16th centuries. It was built on the foundations of an earlier 12th-century building. The materials used for its construction, borrowed from the local granite quarries, give the whole building, topped by an imposing tower flanked by four belfries and a tapering spire, an appearance that is both massive and elegant. Inside, the high altar is a remarkable work by Joseph Le Brun. Dating from the 18th century, it is listed as a Historic Monument, as are two other altarpieces and a pulpit.
*Heritage Foundation
After 4 years of extensive restoration work, the church is finally opening its doors.
Come and discover or rediscover this architectural gem:

- On leaving Brecé, towards Châtillon-sur-Colmont :
The Motte féodale de l'Écluse dates from between the 11th and 12th centuries. This ancient motte, which served as the base for a fortified castle, is one of the best preserved in the département.
The adjoining Romanesque chapel, dedicated to Saint Jacques and Saint Anne, dates back to the time of the feudal mound, as every castle must have a chapel, revealing the importance of the lords of l'Écluse.
Saturday and Sunday: 9am-8pm
- Petit vieux sou" dolmen on the Saut-au-Loup path
The dolmen is a megalithic burial site dating back to 2400 BC. It is 1.40 metres wide and high, and 11 metres long, with a 1.80-metre access corridor.
Archaeological excavations and restoration of the site (1978-1982) led to the discovery of over a thousand objects (vases, arrows, tools, axes), some of which have joined the collections of the Musée de Jublains.
