Église Saint-Patern de Vannes, Baroque Catholic church in Vannes, France
The church features a central nave with two aisles and includes three side chapels containing six altarpieces dedicated to different saints.
Following severe storm damage in 1721 and 1726, architect Olivier Delourme led the reconstruction starting in 1727, with the spire completed in 1826.
The church houses valuable artworks including Alexandre Evariste Fragonard's 1837 painting 'L'Assomption de la Vierge' in the transept section.
Regular religious services take place in the church, which maintains an active schedule of choir rehearsals and community gatherings throughout the year.
The church preserves the relics of Saint Patern, the first bishop of Vannes from the 5th century, making it a significant stop on the Tro Breizh pilgrimage.
