Origin and history

Notre-Dame-des-Tertres Church is a monument located in the commune of Mohon, Brittany. The available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. This type of religious building, typical of the Breton countryside, generally served as a place of worship, community gathering and visual landmark in the local landscape.

In the Breton context, parish churches played a central role in the daily lives of the inhabitants. They were often the focus of religious, social and sometimes economic activities in villages. Without specific information about this church, it can be assumed that it followed this tradition, marking local life by its offices, its employers' holidays and its role as a place of collective memory.
