Basilique Notre-Dame-du-Roncier, Gothic basilica in Josselin, France.

Notre-Dame-du-Roncier basilica features a high stone nave, pointed arches, and numerous detailed stained glass windows displaying biblical narratives throughout its interior.

Construction of the basilica began in 1190 as a chapel for the counts of Porhoët, later expanding into a larger sanctuary under Olivier de Clisson's direction.

The basilica holds significance as a stopover point along the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela, with an annual Pardon celebration on September 8th.

Visitors can explore the basilica Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and weekends from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Rue Olivier de Clisson.

The restored great organ and wrought iron pulpit, crafted by local artisan Eustache Roussin, represent exceptional examples of religious craftsmanship within the basilica.
