The Templar Church of Brélévenez

The church of Brélévenez, a veritable architectural gem, is an impressive testimony to Lannion's medieval past. Built by the Knights Templar in the 12th century, this church dominates the town from the top of the Brélévenez staircase. Its Romanesque and Gothic architecture, colourful stained glass windows and strategic position offering a panoramic view over Lannion make it a must-see for history and heritage lovers.

The Ursulines Chapel

The Chapelle des Ursulines is one of Lannion's most emblematic monuments, located in the heart of the town. Built in the 17th century by the Ursuline order, its sober, elegant architecture is typical of the period. The chapel's interior features magnificent woodwork and works of sacred art. Once a place of worship for the nuns, it is now a cultural venue hosting exhibitions, concerts and various events. A must-see for lovers of history and religious heritage.
