Architectural History and Church Windows

The Couvent de Soeurs de la Charité, also called Couvent la Communauté, is on Rue Rose-Giet in the village of La Salle-de-Vihiers. The Couvent la Communauté was built in 1868 by architect Alfred Tessier. The new parish church of Saint-Martin was built between 1866 and 1867, also under the direction of Alfred Tessier. Chronologically, the church predates the convent; the two buildings share the same architect. In Saint-Martin Church, the stained-glass windows in the nave depict episodes from the Vendée Wars. The stained-glass window F14 is titled “Consécration de la commune au Sacré-Coeur.” The consecration of the commune to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was announced on June 29, 1919. Thus, the construction dates from the 1860s sit alongside a religious announcement from 1919.
