Exterior of Église Saint-Nonna de Penmarc'h, Gothic church in Penmarch, France.

Saint-Nonna Church features a nave with three vessels and five bays, supported by octagonal pillars and pointed arches.

Construction of the church began in 1508, during a period of maritime prosperity, and received historical monument status in 1862.

The sculptures of four ships inside and fourteen outside document the evolution of shipbuilding from the 15th to 16th centuries.

The structure measures 50 meters in length and 25 meters in width, with a tower rising to 10 meters in height.

The gables and buttresses display detailed sculptures of fishermen, fish, and Breton carvels depicting local maritime history.
