The Saint-Étienne Church (French: Église Saint-Étienne d'Entrammes) is a church in Entrammes, Mayenne, France.[1]

History

The first church was built in the 7th century on the remains of Roman baths, which were rediscovered in 1987.

Today, little remains of the old paleochristian church save for a staircase that leads to the chancel, and also the base of the pulpit.[2]
