Ancienne église Saint-Méen de Cancale, Listed historical monument in central Cancale, France

The building features a neoclassical facade with a bell tower porch, three vessels, and a flat chevet topped by an octagonal campanile.

Engineer Jean-Siméon Garengeau constructed this church between 1714 and 1727, replacing a religious building documented since 1302.

The nave received two side aisles in 1838, followed by choir modifications in 1842 according to Alfred-Louis Frangeul's plans.

Located at 5 Impasse Saint-Méen, the building now houses the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions of Cancale.

The west facade with the bell tower and the first two 18th-century bays received historical monument status in 1982.
