The modest Saint-Maurice church in Ohis hardly betrays its fortified character at first through its exterior. It was built – probably in the 14th century – of block stones and has a brick façade. The bell tower is made of wood.

Typical traces of a fortified church can only be found on and in the choir, which is considerably higher than the nave and to whose south side a building with a storey is attached: some embrasures can still be seen on the north wall, and inside there is an escape room on the upper floor.

During the French Revolution, the church also served as a town hall, as did the churches of Gronard, Neuve-Maison and Jeantes.

The church is normally closed, but on our Easter Tour 2024, Mayor Landeriuex kindly opened the church to us so that we could also take photos inside. Many thanks again for this!
