history

The Carmelite monastery was in 1383 by Henri III. Donated by Baron von Pont. The construction of the two-aisled monastery church with a north aisle was completed in 1411. The central nave is characterized by two outstanding rose windows from the 15th century in the Flamboyant Gothic style , which are located above the west portal and in the east wall of the choir. The church tower in the south of the choir was not built until 1603. Before that, the church, typical of a mendicant order, had no tower.

The large cloister belonging to the monastery church, which was located south of the building and is dated around 1444, was dismantled in 1880 and rebuilt in Quimper in the Lycée Chaptal.

In the 19th century the interior was furnished with the inventory of the demolished church of St-Jacques de Lambour .
