Things to see and do Daoulas

This Romanesque church built with Logonna stones between 1167 and 1173 kept traces of the original construction of the 8th century. The magnificent Gothic porch built in 1560 was dismantled and transplanted in the late 19th century to the cemetery's entrance adjacent to the abbey. The interior of the church is reputed for its first-class acoustics allowed by the harmony of the vaults. This is the way that concerts regularly took place there, although the organ has disappeared after the church was abandonned to the Jesuites in 1692. In case of questions, you will need to speak to the presbytery, opposite the church.

Finistère is the department that counted the most mills in its territory: there are no fewer. 3,800 mills listed. Powered by the Mignonne, the river of Daoulas, this mill was built in medieval times and served as a millstone from 1936 to 1970. Completely refurbished and transformed into a museum, it offers a museum that plays a role in its operation. The technical aspect is also addressed, with machinery mechanisms still under way. Finally, the headquarters of the Finistère Mills Association have settled there and can pass on many information to the fans of this heritage.
