Église Saint-Mélaine de Morlaix, Gothic church in Morlaix, France.

The church displays a tower topped with a zinc spire, featuring intricate stone carvings and large stained glass windows along its walls.

Construction began in 1489 under architect Philippe Beaumanoir, with the south porch being completed first, followed by the tower completion in 1574.

The interior contains religious paintings from the 16th century, demonstrating the artistic and religious expressions of medieval Brittany craftsmen.

The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors, with guided tours available to explore its architectural and historical features.

During World War II, a bomb landed in the presbytery garden in 1943, causing significant damage that required extensive reconstruction work.
