Visite guidée de l'église Saint-Nonna

The church was built on the site of an earlier church in 1508.**
It is dedicated to Saint Nonna (also known as Saint Vougay or Saint Vio). At that time, Penmarc’h was enjoying economic prosperity thanks to fishing and the transport of goods.

Built in the **Flamboyant Gothic style**, the church's architecture is typical of churches and chapels in the Cap Caval area: a square tower, central spire, and flat-ended choir. The church’s dimensions are worthy of a small cathedral—nearly 50 meters long and 25 meters wide. Its architecture is majestic, with an imposing square tower that was intended to support a bell tower. However, the bell tower was never built due to lack of funds.
The central spire served as both an observation post and a navigational landmark.
