サン・ジュドース周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

かつて何世紀にもわたり、ブルターニュでは、可能な限り多くの人々がブルターニュの7つの大聖堂、いわゆる「創設の聖人」への大規模な巡礼を行うことが生活の一部でした。これはブルトン語で「トロ・ブレイス」（ブルターニュ巡礼）と呼ばれていました。14世紀には、約4万人が約700キロメートルの距離を移動したと推定されています。トロ・ブレイスを生きている間に終えられなかった場合、棺桶に入れられてでも巡礼が続けられたと言われています。 数年前、千年紀の変わり目に、「トロ・ブレイス」は、たとえ異なる形であっても、復活しました。現代版では、この距離は7年間に分散され、毎年巡礼地の1つが訪れられます。著名な7人の聖人は次のとおりです。 + Saint Maclovius: サン・マロ教区の創設者であり、市の守護聖人。 + Saint Samson: ドル・ド・ブルターニュ教区の創設者であり、最も有名なブルトン人の聖人の一人。 + Saint Briocus: サン・ブリュー教区とその修道院の創設者。 + Saint Tugdual: トレギエ教区の創設者であり、ブルターニュの歴史における最も重要な聖人の一人。 + Saint Paul-Aurelianus: サン・ポール・ド・レオン教区の創設者であり、著名な宣教師。 + Saint Corentin: クイペル教区の創設者であり、最も重要なブルトン人の聖人の一人。 + Saint Hervé: 『Vita Hervei』に言及されているブルターニュの聖人。

とても美しい教会です。特に窓が気に入りました。

I was particularly impressed by the church windows.

Dinan was founded in the 11th century at a strategic location on the Rance River. It developed into a fortified trading and market town during the Middle Ages. In the 14th century, Dinan played an important role in the Hundred Years' War and was repeatedly contested. The town is known for its well-preserved medieval old town with half-timbered houses, city walls, and the Saint-Sauveur Basilica.

The Basilica of Saint-Sauveur was founded around 1112 and combines Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It is famous as the burial place of the hero Bertrand du Guesclin. It has been a historic monument since 1862 and was elevated to a minor basilica in 1954. Noteworthy are the Romanesque west portal, the Gothic chapels, and the relief of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

The Église Saint-Malo de Dinan is a late Gothic church in the historic center. Construction began around 1490 and continued into the 19th century. Built in the Flamboyant Gothic style, it is made of Breton granite and measures approximately 76.5 meters long, 44.1 meters wide, and 21 meters high. The choir rests on eight pillars, surrounded by side chapels with ornate gables. Particularly noteworthy are the early 20th-century stained-glass windows and the historic organ. The church is dedicated to Saint Malo and is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Brittany.

Particularly worth seeing are the church windows, which tell the history of the region. They are stunningly beautiful on a sunny day.

This church was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God, or - like so many French churches - to the Mother of God (“Notre-Dame”). The patronage here was chosen to be the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ himself, and the church in Dinan was dedicated to him under the title “SAINT SAUVEUR” - that is, as the Redeemer and Savior (Latin: “Salvator”).
