This Neo-Gothic minor basilica was constructed between 1884 and 1904, replacing a former parish church known as Saint-Aubin. Designed by architect Jean-Baptiste Martenot, the building's Gothic Revival style is inspired by traditional French cathedrals. It was officially elevated to the status of a minor basilica on August 6, 1916.
The interior is notable for its stained glass windows, which illustrate the history of the city and the wider Brittany region. The church serves as a central site for the veneration of Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle.
While the basilica is currently closed, it has historically functioned as a significant religious site for commemorating local figures, such as the beatified Marcel Callo.
