 Lannion - Saint Anne
geographical situation of the site of Lannion interested the Romans
(spared from flooding). In its history, the city had to undergo several
Breton, French and English assaults. Indeed, a long time under the
French domination, when the city stood by Charles de Blois against the
Duke of Brittany. The English, allied of the Duke and his armies, tried
to gain back the city. Lannion was literally destroyed during the chaos
of the League war in the 17th century. But since the 18th |
century,
Lannion will recover its tranquillity and prosperity. It becomes the
Breton capital of electronics and telecommunications during the
Sixties. This situation is confirmed by the presence of the national
centre of space meteorology. Very concentrated, the old city keeps its
architectural treasures. Several eras characterize the architecture of
Lannion. The first is clearly of medieval inspiration. The second, of
Renaissance inspiration, is a final attempt to revive this architecture
before the ultimate abandonment of wood towards a stone architecture.
The church of Brélévenez is one of the most significant religious
buildings of Trégor. It evokes the monk knights of Montjoie, order of
military and religious Templers. |
