Origin and history

The church of Saint-Pierre de Locoal-Mendon, originally a chapel of Notre-Dame built in the 15th century, preserves its bedside from this time, the walls of the transept and the porch. Originally a simple chapel, it temporarily became a parish church in the 18th century when the church of Saint-Pierre was rebuilt, a site abandoned at the Revolution. The unfinished building was replaced in 1822 by a religious house, while the chapel was permanently erected as a parish church.

In 1875, the nave and tower were added, and in 1892, interior renovations made old elements such as sculpted entrances and an armorial sandstone disappear. The church, from plan to Latin cross, has a flat bedside and a false 19th century plaster warhead vault. Its southern porch, vaulted in stone, is decorated with empty niches and twin doors in basket cove, typical of the Gothic style.

The choir, illuminated by a large emplacement bay, and the broken arches of the transept bear witness to its medieval heritage. Classified as a historical monument in 1925, this church illustrates the architectural and religious evolution of Brittany, mixing Gothic heritage and 18th and 19th century adaptations.
