Origin and history
L'Église de la Sainte-Trinité is a Catholic church located in Launay-Villiers, Mayenne department, Pays de la Loire region. Built in 1636, it is distinguished by its Latin cross architecture, typical of the religious buildings of this period. Its location, on the edge of the departmental road 279, makes it a landmark in the village.
In the 19th century, the church underwent notable changes: the choir's flat bedside was enriched with a five-sided sacristy, and a bell tower was erected. The exterior facades bear coats of arms carved in round-bosse on granite shields, attributed to René Godard. These elements reflect the symbolic and social importance of the building in the local community.
Inside, the nave, the choir and the transept are covered with a plastered cast iron frame, typical of regional constructions. The altarpiece of the high altar houses a painting depicting the Holy Trinity, commissioned in 1711 by Antoine Peu. The organ, made by Hippolyte Loret, was initially installed in the convent of Notre-Dame du Sacré-Coeur de Laval before being transferred to this church in 1904. These elements bear witness to the artistic and liturgical evolution of the monument over the centuries.
