Saint Ronan's Church (Église Saint-Ronan), Locronan

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Saint-Ronan and the adjoining Pénity Chapel are among the most beautiful buildings of Flamboyant Late Gothic style in Brittany. The building stands on the picturesque village square of Locronan, near the Baie de Douarnenez in the Finistère department of Brittany.
The Church (Église) of Saint-Ronan was built between 1430 and 1480. The square church tower, over 30 meters high, was built in 1475 on four pillars. The tower had a tall octagonal spire, which was struck by lightning in 1808. Today, the church tower terrace is covered with a roof resting on the octagonal base of the spire.

Locronan

Highlight • Settlement

Tiny Locronan with its medieval, granite town center seems to have fallen out of time. No new buildings, no traffic signs or neon signs are a problem here, because nothing has changed since the 17th century. Not even the pavement. That's why there are no cars here - Locronan is a pedestrian zone. You park your vehicle in the large parking lot in front of the town, turn the corner and immerse yourself in the past.

Therefore, do not be surprised if a figure in a cloak and with a sword comes towards you. The small town has played a leading role several times as a filming location for historical hams. Above all, the large Church of St. Ronan with its mighty tower and monumental portal is a perfect stage set and a prime example of Breton late Gothic.

Many artisans have settled in the town itself and the restaurants and cafés are well attended. Often jugglers and musicians with historical instruments enliven the large square in front of the church. Locronan is a wonderful place for a short visit. But don't forget the spare memory card for your camera - you'll find endless gorgeous photo opportunities here.
