Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Joie de Pontivy, Minor basilica from 16th century in Pontivy, France.
The western portal of Notre-Dame-de-la-Joie features twin bays adorned with vine and oak leaf sculptures supported by granite columns.
The construction of this church began on April 29, 1533, with financial support from Claude de Rohan, Bishop of Cornouaille.
The building contains multiple classified historical monuments, including altarpieces, a gray marble high altar from 1782, and a 17th-century eagle lectern.
Located between Bourdonnaye and Anne-de-Bretagne squares in central Pontivy, the basilica welcomes visitors without admission fees throughout the year.
A commemorative inscription in Middle French from the Renaissance period confirms that parishioners built the church tower in 1533.
