Step 1: LIVET CHURCH
Until the beginning of the 12th century, Livet possessed only a very modest chapel. Almost all the parish churches in the canton were built during the 11th and 12th centuries, probably replacing modest wooden structures that had fallen into ruin or become too small. The church of Livet-en-Charnie has been covered with a panelled barrel vault since the 16th century.
The Romanesque church is dedicated to Saint Martin: it consists of a nave and a narrower rectangular chancel, onto which opens to the north the former chapel of Monteclerc, which became the sacristy in 1782. The facade is formed by the gable wall. During the 17th and 18th centuries, a new element appeared in the church's decoration, as in many churches of Lower Maine: the altarpiece.
