Notre-Dame-des-Carmes, Gothic church in Pont-l'Abbé, France.

The Notre-Dame-des-Carmes church features a single nave with wooden paneling and a large rose window measuring 7.70 meters in diameter at the chevet.

Built between 1383 and 1406 under the direction of Lord Hervé IV du Pont and Péronnelle de Rochefort for a Carmelite community.

The stone and wooden altarpieces represent donations from local guilds, including shoemakers and apothecaries during the 17th century.

The church contains a grand organ restored in 1990 that preserves original pipes from 1666 and regularly hosts religious services.

The slate helmet-shaped bell tower, constructed in 1603, represents an unusual architectural feature in the Lower Brittany region.
