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

The Ancienne église Saint-Méen de Cancale is a church building with a neoclassical facade and bell tower porch located in central Cancale. The interior has three vessels with additional side aisles added in 1838, and the flat chevet is topped by an octagonal campanile.

Built between 1715 and 1727 by Siméon Garangeau, engineer and architect, on the site of a medieval church, this building became too small for the parish. It was replaced by the new Saint-Méen church, built in 1875 by architect Alfred-Louis Frangeul. The old church was listed as a monument historique on 29 December 1982 and has housed Cancale's cinema and museum of Arts and Popular Traditions since the 1980s.

The building is no longer used for worship: since the 1980s it has housed Cancale's cinema and its Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions. Visitors come for film screenings and for exhibits on local customs rather than for services. The name Saint-Méen refers to the Breton saint to whom the medieval church on this site was dedicated.

The building is located on Impasse Saint-Méen and now houses the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions of Cancale. Access is straightforward from the town center by walking through the central streets to find the narrow lane.

Siméon Garangeau, who built the church between 1715 and 1727, is described in the sources as both engineer and architect, so the design came from a figure with engineering training. Since the 1980s the former church has housed Cancale's cinema and its museum of Arts and Popular Traditions, a change of use rather than a religious one.
