The current church was built at the beginning of the 18th century replacing a chapel whose origins are the same as those of the city. According to a hypothesis by the ren historian Lewis pap, the location of this chapel at the intersection of the cardo and the duminus would correspond to that of the basilica of the temple dedicated to Mars Mullo on the form of the gala roman city of condate. The first written traces mentioning a s chapel in ren date from the 12th century. It was then attached to the parish of tusants. The chapter of Ren donated it to Abbis Matthew decorop of the St. George Abbey in January 1230. The church developed at the pace of the city during the following centuries with multiple furnishing enrichments in several extension and renovation operations. Construction of a lantern. Installation of new altars. Installation of a glory beam supporting a crucifix and two images of saints. Erection of pillars supporting an extension from the miracle of 1357. See below the cult of Notredom developed particularly with the increase in population the need to split the parish of Tusants of which St. So was still a truce was felt in accordance with the request from the parishioners made in 1632. The bishop of Ren Charles Francois de Lauville erected St. So as a parish church in 1667. This decision was confirmed by the parliament of Britany by a decree of October 7th 1667 despite the opposition of the recctor of Tucson. A brotherhood was founded in 1670 on the initiative of St. Johns in honor of our lady of miracles and virtues and the holy heart of Mary. Reconstruction of Basilica of St. over Ren France. The March 7th 1682 the west gable of the building collapsed making the church unfit for worship. After a few months during which the blessed sacrament was transported to the St. James chapel, worship resumed in the partially demolished church. The general of the parish wanted to rebuild the church. It would take 19 years to raise the funds and purchase the adjacent plots. The first deliberation with a view to launching the reconstruction work took place on July 12th, 1701 the first stone was laid 2 years later. The July 24703 by the attendant of Britney Lewis Betimile Denoal in 1710 a royal lottery was organized to try to collect £36,000 for the benefit of the construction sit. The plans were drawn up by the architect Francois Hugat who is also responsible for the crowning of the towers of the neighboring St. Pierre Cathedral and a convent building for the Saint Eve Hospital. According to the wishes of the general of the parish, worship was not interrupted by the work. The architect decided to orient the new church from east to west, the opposite of the old one. This new orientation made it possible to open the facade onto the lower part of the place due grand dea kohhu. This square where market was held a kohu in Breton French occupied the site of the current rude declen and plac until 1720. The work began with the choir. Once it was completed the blessed sacrament was transported there and the old church was finally demolished. Of this only a capital sculpted on one side of a standing figure remains dating from the 12th century and preserved at the museum of Britany. The new church was consecrated on August 5th, 1719, while only the choir blessed earlier the same year 15 and a transcept were completed. The fire in Ren in 1720 destroyed the furniture and the old roof which collapsed but did not interrupt the reconstruction work. The main work of the church was completed in 1728. Francois Hug died in 1730. Several architects succeeded him to complete the building for SDA known as the elder made a significant change to the plans. The destruction of the place due grand bout de la kohhu replaced by Rudaclesen and place saints over and the opening of Rudu Gescllin in the axis of the church led him to redesign the facade to integrate it into this new perspective. He also produced the plan for the portal and its leaves as a cost-saving measure. The final result was however less ambitious than Hugat’s project. Antoine Forest SDA known as the younger drew up the plans for the dome of the tower while Daniel Choat de Grandmison produced those for the Belelfrey in 1741 accompanied by estimates. The supervision of the work by forest SDA is attested in 1758. The high altar symbolizing the end of the work was consecrated in 1768. Revolution in the church. The French revolution interrupted the reconstruction work on the St. Pierre Cathedral destroyed in 1768. The constitutional bishop Claude Lucas then established the Episcopal seat in the Saints over church. With the establishment of the terror and the arrival of Jean Baptiste carrier in Ren on September 1st, 1793, constitutional worship ceased and Claude Luz was imprisoned. The Saints Sover Church then became the temple of reason. Then the temple of the supreme being in 1794. The miraculous statue of Notre Dame was destroyed during this period. The building hosted public meetings. Among other things, the confirmation of Gene Leopardit as mayor of the city after the end of the terror was announced in 1795. After the national convention authorized the public practice of Catholic worship, a citizens petition unsuccessfully requested the restitution of the church 20. Nevertheless, Lucas, who had returned to Ren, obtained the rental of the premises from the district on March 27, 1795, 7 German year 3. St. So silver was not officially returned to worship until September 30, 1802 8 Vineimir year 11 by the prefect of Eye T. Valain Gene Joseph Mountier. Recent history. During the 19th century, the furniture was enriched with the arrival of the high altar 1827 to 1829, an Easter candlestick 1846, a station of the cross circa 1860, and the organ choir 1894. The architect Laru carried out a first restoration from 1842 in order to refresh the interior and provide some finishing touches. Nine, the statues of St. Peter and St. Paul by Jean Baptiste Bar appear on either side of the choir. The altars of the sacred heart and of St. Louis and Saint and are redone and receive new paintings. Abbott Brun led a second restoration from 1870 on the altars of the transct in 1875. He created the altar dedicated to our lady of miracles and virtues in the north isle. Three bells were then installed in the tower in 1876. Finally, ceramic paving replaced the original tile in 188869. The church also carried between 1832 and 1855 a chap telegraph station 4 of Ren and number 10 of the Evernance line with the reactivation of the cult of our lady of miracles. The church was consecrated on October 12th, 1912 by Pope Pius I 10th 24. It was erected as a minor basilica on April 27th, 1916 by Pope Benedict I 1526. Available to occupants of the Catholic religion during the occupation of Ren 27, the building was registered as a historic monument on March 2nd, 1942. Miracles for stories of miracles attributed to our lady are linked to the church and are the subject of particular devotion. According to Father Bernard Hudra, dean of the parish in 2013, it’s a little embarrassing because they people will pray to our lady first and Christ comes later. This borders on superstition. In troubled times or the day before exam periods, there is a significant increase in requests for healing for success. It’s understandable when we experience trials or when we need help, we rely on heaven. The walls near the chapel dedicated to Notredom are covered with X photos in the form of engraved marble plaques. The hanging of Xodos is today refused, but the faithful leave flowers and wishes near the statue. Discovery of the English mine during the siege of 1357. During the War of the Britney succession, when Ren was besieged by English troops, the city expected an attempted invasion via an underground route. According to popular tradition, on the night of February 8th, 1357, the church bells began to ring and candles lit spontaneously. The defenders of the city would then have discovered the statue of Notre Dame pointing to a slab on the ground. Digging at this location, they discovered a gallery pierced by the English troops who had come to take the city and repelled the invasion. Few distinct accounts of this event are known and its dating varies. According to some historians, this was the siege of Ren from 1356 to 1357. And the discovery of the mine can be attributed to a ruse by the captain of the city, Guom de Pinhoit, who made it possible to alert the defenders and locate the gallery. The only contemporary account of the facts before 1387 is the song of Bertrand Dugesclim by the Truv Cuvelier. This song of gesture, the objectivity of which is debated, only relates the strategim of Guiam de Penhoet and does not evoke any miracle. The following story is found in the 1532 edition of Alan Boucher’s Krennik’s de Britannia. He places the miracle in 1343 and briefly cites the ringing of the bells in the lighting of two candles, but not the movement of the statue. In 1634, the miracle was officially recognized by the bishop of Ren, manager Pierre Cornelier. The report of this recognition is lost, but it is taken up by a report of July 19th, 1658 from manager Henri Damoth Howen Court, his successor. The year given is 1345. All three facts are cited. In 1637, Father Albert Lrand related a slightly different story in the life of the saints of Britany Armarique 36 in which the sacristen discovered the statue and warned the defenders this time in 1356. Finally, a story in verse anonymous and undated is taken up by father in his history of Notredam the miracles of 165,837. This poem puts forward the date of February 1345 incites the three facts. Later editions of the lives of the saints of Britany Armarie take at this story by father fatrol. A well would have remained in the church at least until the 15th century 39 and a stone would have marked its location until the repair of the paving in 1886. The discovery in the district during earthworks in 1902 of an underground with matching characteristics could give credence to this invasion plan. Fire of 1,720. During the fire of 1720, despite the collapse of the roof and the destruction of part of the furniture, the same statue was found intact. The people credit the Virgin with stopping the fire. The inhabitants of the LIS district spared had an ex photo painted at Notre Dame. The original watercolor from 1721 by Jean Franuis Hugat son of the architect is located in the Notre Dame dean Basilica. An enlargement carried out the same year by Leroy has hung in the south aisle of St. So over since 1841. Its frame bears the inscription wish made to our lady of good news by the inhabitants of LIS R St. Louis R St. Michelle Place St and preserved from the fire of December 22nd healing of Marie Rishlot on February 18th 1742. An anonymous report relates the instantaneous healing of Marie Rishlot during a mass on February 18th 1742. The young woman had suffered from left knee pain since September 20th, 1738. Healing of Marie Rishlot on February 18th, 1742. An anonymous report relates the instantaneous healing of Marie Rishlot during a mass on February 18th, 1742. The young woman had suffered from left knee pain since September 20th, 1738. Healing of Magdalene Morris in 1761. The registers of the deliberations of the general of the parish mentioned the instantaneous healing of Magdalene Morris suffering from gangrine in her right foot during a mass on Easter Wednesday 1761. A report drawn up at the request of the person concerned is preserved in the Porcaro archives but no canonical investigation took place. Status and operation in 1667 the St. Silver Church, a truce of the parish of Tucants, became a parish in turn, bringing the number of parishes in Ren to 1048. The new parish then had as its limits to the north the port St. Michelle, current place Rally Duby, to the south the Vain, to the east the Rue Tristan, tracing close to the current Ruda El Horloge, and to the west the rear of the Cathedral 48. This represents half of the first enclosure of Ren or four hectares fully built. In 1713, manager Kristoff Lewis Turpin de Chris Danzi made an Episcopal visit to the parish. There were then 22 priests there. This figure increased to 13 in 1789. In 1939, the headquarters of the parish was moved to St. Pierre Cathedral the Saints over church retaining its sole basilical vocation with the reorganization in 2002 of the parishes of the arch dasis of Ren Dole and St. Malo St. So silver found a parish assignment between the cathedral and the Sainten church heraldry as a minor basilica St. over has the right to have its own code of arms.

Architecture of basilica of St. Ren France. The exterior style of the building recalls on a lesser scale that of the Gassu Church in Rome or the Notre Dame de Victor’s Basilica in Paris. Of modest size 43 m* 26 m. The church has the shape of a Latin cross with multiple cutouts with a nave with three bays and two aisles and apps with cut sides and a slightly projecting transcept. If the original project provided for a very projecting portal with double columns, the fire of 1720 led to a modification of the facade plans. The final portal with slightly projecting twin plasters is more modest. The door with a raised lentil is surmounted by a basket handle arch whose tempenum bears the name of the church Christo Salvator Christ the Savior. A lentil tablet bears the arms and the motto of the church at Jes perium to Jesus through Mary. On either side, two semi-ircular niches framed by plasters are intended to accommodate statues but left empty on a bare freeze topped with a cornice. The second level includes only a large semi-ircular window between two pairs of plasters and two fins. Finally, a paired archetra supports a raised triangular pediment crowned with a cushion bearing a cross. The hole is tuskcin. This Italian style facade with superimposed orders typical of the 18th century is found in other contemporary buildings. Valde Grace Church, Notre Dame de Victor’s Basilica, Blet Church and St. Thomas D. Church, Aquinus 16. In Ren, two other buildings had already been built with a facade in the same style 15. The church of the convent of the visitation in 1662 and the church of the convent of the augustinines which became the Saint aten church in 1700. A tower is attached to the north of the facade. The ground floor and first floor have a square plan. The second level has turned corners. The tower is topped with a half-sighted dome with a lantern itself supporting across. The north and south facads are pierced with two rows of arch windows without mullions lighting the aisles in the high nave and corresponding to each bay and the choir. Concave buttresses topped with pinnacles rise from the side aisles and separate the bays from the nave. The walls behind the cross pieces are also pierced with windows high up, but the north and south walls of the transcept are blind. The roof of the main vessel is a steeply pitched gable with the turnback. It ends hipp on the apps in the cross pieces. The aisles have a single pitch roof with a lower slope. The hole is covered with slate. A lantern tower is located at the crossing of the transct. A cornice with modilians crowns the entire building. High altar, pulpit and baptismal fun enclosure.

For Corinthian columns in St. Berth of marble support a concave wooden cornice whose decoration recalls the marble of the columns. On this cornis rest four golden valutes which themselves support a canopy. A trinitarian glory in gilded paceboard occupies the central volume at the level of the cornis. A canvas representing the transfiguration of Christ occupies the back of the apps. Made to measure by the painter Gene Bruno Gassis in 182455. It fits into the perspective of the canopy despite its relative distance from the choir. The high altar itself is later than the Baldakin. It was made in 1829 by the marble worker Francois Depense. Alberic Grapensburgger is also the author of the models for the motifs adorning the pulpit attached to the southwest pillar of the choir. This painted or gilded rot iron pulpit made in 1781 is the work of iron worker Jean Gibear. Richly decorated the vat bears numerous ornaments medallions surrounded by palms and ribbons, falling leaves and fruits, scrolls and laurel garlands. The sounding board is topped with a gadun dome. The base is made of a cananthus leaves. Jean Gibear also created at the same time and in a similar style the enclosure of the baptismal font. Since Christmas 1975, an altar facing the people has been installed at the crossing of the transcept clearly detached from the choir.

The altar was dedicated and the ombo blessed by manager Diorellis on December 17th, 2011. The statue of our lady of miracles and virtues, often called simply our lady of miracles, is a virgin and child. It is mentioned as early as the 14th century in the context of a miracle which allegedly occurred during a siege of the city. It is already a painted wooden sculpture. It was repainted in 1445. Then its hands were restored in 1522. In 1658, Father Frol described it thus. And to say something in particular about the image of the Virgin of St. It is only made of simple wood which has been enriched with some gilding more for its conservation than its embellishment. It is true that its form smacks of antiquity. But after all, apart from a certain air of devotion which is noticed there, there is nothing very extraordinary about it, and it is a seated figure of medium size which holds its Christ on its knees, gently supporting it with its left hand. As for the right hand, which she had formerly placed on the breast, according to what tradition tells us, she is now detached, showing directly with her first three fingers, the place of the mine, which can be seen towards the center 10 to 12 paces away, having no appearance of having been carved by fate. But in memory of the miracle, it remained like this. Organs. Two organs are located in the church. A choir organ and a monumental organ in the gallery. Choir organ.
