Built on the remains of a Romanesque cathedral from the 11th century, the Gothic cathedral of Saint-Paul-Aurélien, a minor basilica known as the Annunciation, has a remarkable nave from the 12th century in Caen limestone, a complex almost unique in Brittany, and a choir in granite from the 15th century.

2 fabulously beautiful churches to see

beautiful old town, must see 🤩

The current parish church is a large neo-Gothic style building. Built in 1864, it was dedicated the following year. The new church replaced a century-old building, dating back to 1763.

The construction of the church was undertaken around 1520 on a dune, land taken from the sea, at the initiative of the city's shipowners. The sacred perimeter contains the church, 2 ossuary chapels, one Gothic, the other Henry II style, as well as a funerary monument. The church is in flamboyant Gothic style. The Renaissance bell tower dates from 1575-1576, it is made up of pinnacles chiseled in the granite. The facades of the church are punctuated with stone caravels and 18 figured crossettes, men and beasts. The first ossuary was built in the 16th century to cope with the shortage of space in the cemetery surrounding the church. The second ossuary dates from the 17th century.

The lively port of Roscoff is worth every little detour. Definitely translate to the Ile de Batz and then eat something in the old town or have a delicious drink in the café at the port. You can often buy their catch directly from the fishermen in the harbor. The times for this are laid out on the sales tables at the pier or posted provisionally. There I got to know the petancle, a small type of mussel that is similar to the scallop but has a more intense taste. Delicate. ! ;-)

The foundations of the former cathedral date from the 12th century; the nave, the aisles, the facade and the towers were built in the 13th and 14th centuries; the side chapels, the choir and the apse date from the 15th and 16th centuries. The architects were inspired by Coutances Cathedral and also incorporated Norman limestone into the nave; the rest is made of granite. The turrets above the crossing and the portals are typically Breton. From the park on the north side, between the church and the former episcopal palace (now the town hall), the visitor has a good overview of the wall of the northern transept with Romanesque elements. The south side has a beautiful portal; above the rose window a kind of pulpit is visible, from where excommunications were pronounced. The facade is dominated by two 50m high towers. The episcopal blessing was given from a terrace above the portal. A small door under the right tower was reserved for lepers.
