The church Saint-Pierre de Marsais is a monument located in the commune of Marsais-Sainte-Radegonde, in the Pays de la Loire region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. In the western French countryside, parish churches such as Marsais played a central role in community life.
