The bell tower was the last stage of the reconstruction of the Bouzillé church destroyed in 1793 during the Vendée wars. In 1885, on the plans of Tessier, architect, the spire was laid on the existing belfry. The current rooster that dominates the town and serves as a wind vane was placed in 1992. This is the third. He replaces the volatile bird placed in 1958, riddled with bullets that sits in the council chamber in town hall.
