Église Saint-Similien

About

Saint-Silien Church is a church in Nantes, located in the Hauts-Pavés - Saint-Félix district. It is dedicated to Saint Similien de Nantes, the third bishop of Nantes in the fourth century, who probably baptized Saint Donatien. Built on its tomb, it has been enlarged and rebuilt several times over the centuries. In its current neo-Gothic form, it dates back to the late 19th century, but its facade, supposed to have two large twin bell towers, has never been completed.
