Penmarch, Coastal commune in Finistère, France

The territory of Penmarch spans across four main villages: Penmarch-Bourg, Saint-Guénolé, Kerity, and Saint-Pierre, featuring a rocky coastline with numerous beaches.

During the 14th to 16th centuries, Penmarch rose to regional importance due to its cod fishing banks before declining after the discovery of Newfoundland fisheries.

The Gothic church of Saint Nouna from the early 16th century and the unfinished tower of Saint Guénolé church represent the architectural heritage of Penmarch.

The town hall of Penmarch operates at 110 Rue Edmond Michelet, providing administrative services to its 5,130 residents through scheduled office hours.

The Phare d'Eckmühl lighthouse on Pointe de Penmarc'h projects its beam up to 100 kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean, guiding maritime traffic.
