Origin and history

The church of Sainte-Monna de Logonna-Daoulas, classified as a Historical Monument, presents a complex architectural plan typical of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Its nave, composed of two spans, rests on third-point arcades resting on cylindrical piles, while the transept is divided by arcades perpendicular to the main axis. The choir, slightly salient, ends with a three-sided bedside, topped by three pinions and lanterns. The windows, decorated with flamboyant networks, illustrate the late Gothic heritage of the building.

The porch, marked by the 1618 vintage, attests to a campaign of construction or major renovation in the early seventeenth century. The bell tower, dated 1667 in its upper part, is distinguished by its two openwork floors and its slender arrow with hooks, characteristic of the Breton lights of the period. These elements reflect a stylistic evolution, mixing flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance influences, while meeting the liturgical and community needs of the parish.

The building, listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 4 March 1935, now belongs to the municipality of Logonna-Daoulas. His exact address, 9 Rue de l'Église, and his code Insee (29137) place him in the Finistère, in the heart of a territory marked by a dense religious heritage. The accuracy of its location, estimated at 8/10, underscores its anchoring in the local landscape, between architectural tradition and collective memory.

The church structure, with its segmented transept and versatile bedside, suggests a gradual adaptation to the religious practices and spatial needs of the community. The flamboyant windows, typical of the late Middle Ages, contrast with the sobriety of later additions, such as the bell tower of the seventeenth century. This mix of styles reflects the artistic transitions and resources available during each period of construction or restoration.

Finally, the lack of mention of specific historical characters or sponsors in available sources limits the knowledge of the actors who contributed to its construction. However, the inscription for the Historic Monuments in 1935 underscores its heritage value, thus preserving a remarkable example of Breton religious architecture, between medieval heritage and classical modernity.
