Église de Locmaria, Romanesque church in Locmaria district, Quimper, France
The Église de Locmaria is a Romanesque church featuring a three-vessel nave, transept, and simple facade. The complex includes a cloister and priory buildings that form part of the overall religious compound.
This building originated in the 11th century as the oldest structure in Quimper. A Gothic portal was added during the 16th century, and the chevet was reconstructed in the 17th century.
The church continues to serve local residents through regular religious services and community events. It remains a gathering place where people come together for both spiritual and social purposes.
The building undergoes periodic closures for maintenance and safety work due to structural issues and water damage. Visitors should check conditions before planning a visit to ensure the church is open.
The entrance door features intricate Gothic carvings that surprisingly enhance the Romanesque structure. This blend of two architectural periods makes the church unusual and worth noticing.
