The bridge of Rohan is the major attraction of Etsga. Along 67 m long, it is one of Europe's last inhabited bridges. Built in 1510 by Jean II of Rohan, he first welcomed a mill, a chapel and a prison, before people settled there in the th century. Located in the heart of Etsga, it allowed to cross the Elorn and thus connect Léon and Cornwall. It is now a pedestrian area and offers many restaurants, cafes and shops.

THE TWO CHURCHES: ST. THURTON AND ST. THOMAS

2 reviews

On each side of the Elorn, a church was built. This river was the natural boundary between the two former counties, Léon and Cornwall, who had their own diocese. The right bank of Leo, the church of Saint-Houardon, was completely moved to the th century. Closer to the river initially, she could no longer welcome all parishioners. Reconstruction and expansion work lasted 3 years, from 1848 to 1861. The porch has a finely worked porch and a walk with a turret with stairs. On the left Bank of Cornwall, St. Thomas Church was also rebuilt in the th century under the direction of architect Bigot. Inside, the sand are beautiful invoices and a variety of reasons are distinguished. Closer to the altar, an old wooden statue of the Virgin in an extended position is interesting because of its original representation.

THE HOUSES OF THE 17TH CENTURY

Monuments to visit

Landerneau has several beautiful houses, symbols of its rich past:

The Maison de la Duchesse Anne, place du Marché, is easy to find. After hosting the offices of the Tourist Office, she received a full renovation. It will offer a tea room on the ground floor, as well as a museum on the first floor (remaining floors remaining private). Dated in 1664, this beautiful residence has a series of glass windows that occupy a large part of the northern pignon. On the façade, a statue of the Risen Christ is inserted into a niche.

La Maison de Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol, at 3 St-Thomas Street, attracts a look. His name recalls the passage of pilgrims who went to Rumengol, a few kilometers away, and gathered in front of the statue of Notre Dame. This house has undergone few changes since its construction. The wedding of the pink stones of the Aber Ildut and the yellow stones of Logonna give it a unique aspect.
