The stain glass windows


The Sainte Noyale Chapel has no more antique stain glasses windows.It also may have had as in other buildings of the same time a very large opening with gable to lighten the nave. But if it has been such we do not have any more remaining. Nowadays only six stain glasses windows are left in the building. Most of them have stain glass with decorative patterns. Those only of the transept crossing have historic sceneries.

If the lilies shaped stones might be dated of the Middle Age end, or of the beginning of the 16 century, the stain glasses windows are dating of the last century.

Saint John the Baptist

 

In the midst of the clouds Sainte Noyale is welcomed by God , Father and Son. An angel brings her the martyr palm.
