A town steeped in history, Pontivy builds bridges between eras, like those linking the banks of the Nantes-Brest canal. In the 14th century, Pontivy was the stronghold of the Rohan family, a very powerful family. Its medieval castle and narrow streets of timber-framed houses bear witness to the prestige and vitality of yesteryear. There are also some splendid Renaissance architectural features to admire, such as the facades of the town's mansions. The 19th century marked the great Napoleonic era in Pontivy, which was even called Napoleonville! Pontivy and its surrounding communes are also remarkable for their religious heritage.
