Heritage of the Paimpol Region

The Paimpol region preserves a diverse architectural timeline, from Neolithic passage graves like the Allée couverte de Mélus to the fortified manor houses of the Breton nobility. Key sites include the 13th-century Beauport Abbey and the unique Romanesque rotunda of the Temple de Lanleff. Visitors can explore the rare 15th-century frescoes at Kermaria-an-Isquit or the ruins of Paimpol’s former parish church, known as the Vieille Tour, which remains a prominent landmark of the town's ecclesiastical history.
