Ploërmel's astronomical clock invites you to travel back in time, to understand its workings through video, the museographic space, and so on

Ploërmel's astronomical clock is a must-see. Its precision is astonishing and invites you to travel back in time. Built by Brother Bernardin between 1850 and 1855 for his pupils, it became a Monument Historique in 1982. A short multilingual video invites us to understand its inner workings. The brothers at the reception desk of the Jean-Marie de La Mennais museum will be able to give you some explanations. Before you leave, be sure to visit the museum, the chapel and the bicentenary exhibition. The clock celebrates its 200th anniversary this year.

Belle expérience. Dommage que cette œuvre ne reçoive pas plus de publicité. C'est magnifique et une prouesse pour l'époque.

L'horloge astronomique est une réalisation de très haute volée et d'un intérêt scientifique majeur compte tenu de l'époque où elle a été créée. L'instrument est par lui-même un "bijou" de calculs et de dextérité impressionnant. A voir.

Les frères abbés qui accueillent sont très sympathiques et passionnés par l'explication de cette horloge. Ne surtout pas hésiter à demander un guide.

Une horloge astronomique très complète et exceptionnelle, entretenue en très bon état de marche. Elle a été réalisée au milieu du 19eme siècle par des élèves et leur professeur de physique.
Le guide, prof de math et directeur de lycée à la retraite est passionnant.
