Daoulas - Abbaye Notre-Dame

A small convent, founded by Saint Jaoua, had existed here already within the 6th century. This got destroyed by during the Norman raids.

Around 1100 an abbey (Augustin Canons) was founded and prospered at least over the first centuries. During the 18th century the abbey declined. End of that century most buildings were in very bad condition. After the Revolution, when the last Canons had left, the parish was unable to maintain the structures. End of the 19th century, after lots of valuable works had vanished, a major reconstruction took place - and saved, what can be seen today.

The porch from the 16th century today opens to the cemetery. Over the entrance the Nativity.
