The church of Saint-Jacques de Lambour was built between the 13th and 16th centuries to serve the village of Lambour, a suburb of Pont-l'Abbé in the parish of Combrit.
Built in the Gothic style, it is set in an enclosure that also contains a protohistoric stele. The steeple was beheaded by royal troops during the Red Bonnet revolt in 1675. At the end of the 19th century, the church was in a very poor state of repair and the Pont-l'Abbé town council decided to remove the roof, giving it its current appearance of a romantic ruin.
The building has been a listed historic monument since 30 June 1896 and a listed site since 22 November 1934.
