Saint Jean Church

Saint Jean Baptiste Church

At the end of the fourteenth century, construction of a church, of which remain pillars, the large arcades and the eastern gable of the main ship.
In the last quarter of the XVth century, construction of a south porch leading the removal of the diaphragm arches supporting the bell tower and, consequently, of it. Reconstruction of the gutter walls, as well as the wing chapels of the chæur, and, without doubt, construction of a bell tower-wall.
At the end of the sixteenth century, reconstruction of the western gable and the base of the bell tower wall, construction of a chapel north of the nave to the right of the fourth and fifth spans. Finally, drilling or repair of the North and South windows of the wings of the transept.
In the seventeenth century, completion of the bell tower and construction of an ossuary.
In the nineteenth century, construction of the sacristy, dated 1818, to replace a older, then restoration of the building.

In February 1998, the municipality, in consultation with the public authorities, began renovation of the roof of the building that threatens to collapse ! The work will last ten month. Three companies will tackle the task; Runan's armorican companions will take over the roof; the UCO of Morlaix will redo the roof and the company Lefèvre of Pordic will resume masonry.

In October 2009, in the continuation of the work on the Church of St. Baptist, Monseigneur Fruchaud, Bishop of St Brieuc and Tréguier, will inaugurate the new stained glass windows designed by the quintinese Hubert de Sainte Marie workshop. The construction site, from its conception to the realization, was followed by the architect of the buildings from France Mr Christophe Batard.
