Our Lady of Mercy, La Turballe

Our Lady of Mercy is a Roman Catholic church built in white stone in La Turballe near the Atlantic coast. Its bell tower rises prominently above the neighboring residential buildings in this fishing community.

Construction of this building started in 1939 in the Trescalan district to serve the expanding Catholic population of the fishing community. It was built during a period when the town was developing its core infrastructure to support its growing population.

This place of worship gathers the faithful for religious services and spiritual life in the coastal community. It serves as a focal point for the expression of Catholic traditions among residents and visitors alike.

The church sits in the Trescalan district and is easily reached on foot from central La Turballe via Rue de Trescalan. Parking spaces are available near the building entrance for those arriving by car.

The bell tower acts as a navigation reference for fishermen returning to port and can be spotted from several nautical miles away at sea. This practical function connects the church directly to the maritime heritage and daily life of the fishing harbor.
