The Church of Saint-Goal

A hermitage turned church

In the heart of the Ria d'Étel, high above the Baie de Locoal, stands the church of Saint-Goal, built on the presumed site of its patron saint's hermitage. Transferred in 1037 to the Benedictines of Redon Abbey, the monastery became a priory. A chapel was built in the 11th / 12th century. Over the centuries, the chapel underwent numerous alterations and became the parish church.

The Saint-Goal church in Locoal-Mendon is an architectural and historical landmark that will take you through centuries of history.
