Eglise Saint-Laurent
A small church, but how curious is the ogival door under the porch, above which, in a sculpted frame, appear shapeless and scattered bas-reliefs where one guesses, among others, a small pietà, a medieval rider, other enigmatic symbols... Could it be the "apocalypse" according to Saint John? The 15th century sanctuary is rustic, interesting for its porch bell tower with a polygonal spire. The interior houses a 19th century painting of Christ on the Cross, donated by Napoleon III. The altar is decorated with five gilded statues of saints. In the cemetery surrounding the church, decorated with a sundial, we find the neglected grave, surrounded by oxidized grills, of Léonard, Antoine, Armand, d'Oro de Pontonx, Knight of the Royal and Military Order of Saint-Louis, Mayor of Louer, born in Pontonx on November 7, 1773 and died in Louer on July 5, 1842.
