Église Saint-Jacques de Lambour, Pont-l'Abbé
Facts and practical information
The Saint-Jacques de Lambour church is a ruined Catholic church located in Pont-l'Abbé in Brittany. The present building was built from the 13th to the 16th century to serve as a church for the village of Lambour, a suburb of Pont-l'Abbé located in the parish of Combrit.
In Gothic style, it takes place in an enclosure including also a protohistoric stele. The bell tower was decapitated by the royal troops during the revolt of the red bonnets in 1675. At the end of the 19th century, the church was in a very bad state and the town council of Pont-l'Abbé decided to remove the roof, giving it its current aspect of romantic ruin.
The building is a classified historical monument since June 30, 1896 and a classified site since November 22, 1934.
Although in ruins, it is still used during the pardon of Saint James in July.
