HERVOS BARRACKS
This is undoubtedly the building used for the most varied activities in the Ville-Close. Originally called "Notre Dame de Cong" or "Notre Dame du Portail", it was one of the three churches within the city walls. In the 18th century, it was renamed "Notre Dame du Rosaire".
(Don't miss the multi-arched door and the base of the bell tower):
In 1828, the collapsed bell tower was replaced by a tall tower, the first lighthouse in the region.
For several centuries, the chapel also served as a municipal meeting place for the city's notables. It then became, in succession, an armory, a barracks, a school and a maritime cooperative. Today, it houses the "Musée de la Pêche".

The former barracks in the Ville Close now house the Musée de peche. A visit to the Fishing Museum in the heart of the walled old town of Concarneau is a must. The exhibition, organized chronologically and thematically, naturally includes ships: a ship moored that you can visit, as well as ship models, paintings, maps, posters, drawings, etc. There are also everyday items on board, navigation instruments and sometimes unusual objects such as a wooden tuna club or sardine coins, a special currency used in the Concarneau seafaring world at the end of the 19th century. To make your visit even more enjoyable, you can learn about different fishing techniques and go on board the Hémérica, a real fishing boat moored at the museum.
