Abbaye Notre-Dame de Coatmalouen, Neoclassical abbey in Kerpert, France

The Notre-Dame de Coatmalouen abbey stands on the outskirts of Kerpert, featuring an 18th-century church with a triangular pediment on its principal facade.

Founded in 1142 by monks from Pluskoad in Bégard, the abbey functioned as a religious center until its dissolution during the French Revolution in 1791.

The abbey demonstrates the architectural evolution of Cistercian monasteries, with its remaining structure reflecting the building methods of the 18th century.

Located 20 kilometers south of Guingamp near route D767, the abbey received historical monument status protection on April 20, 1964.

The last monks of Coatmalouen, who found refuge in Saint-Aubin, including Prior Dom Jean Meslays and Dom Augustin Pascal, died on March 3, 1796.
